40, Stillman Street

No. 40 Stillman Street is an early 19th-century house with an attached mid-19th century warehouse, located on the Barbican in Plymouth. The house is constructed of rendered brick and rubble, while the warehouse is of painted brick, both with dry slate roofs. The house has a rendered brick end stack on the left side and a crested ridge tile. The building has a double-depth plan.

The exterior of the house is three storeys and features a two-window range to the first floor. A two-storey open-pedimented gable end of the warehouse is visible to the right. The house has late 19th or 20th-century four-pane horned sash windows, with three on the left and a taller, narrower sash over the doorway, which has a 20th-century door. The warehouse has a hoist over a round-arched loading doorway, located above a wide doorway, flanked by two narrow segmental-arched windows. The warehouse has V-jointed plank doors. A mid-19th century earth closet and washhouse, complete with a copper, are situated in a rear courtyard.

The interior of the house features an early 19th-century dog-leg staircase with winders, stick balusters, and column newels. Panelled doors are framed within moulded architraves, with the exception of an 18th-century two-panel door with HL hinges to the second floor. Cupboards with moulded architraves are located alongside blocked fireplaces in the rear rooms. The first floor contains similar cupboards, and to the front, a cyma-moulded cornice and a marble shelf. Mid-19th-century cast-iron grates with flanking cupboards are also found on the first floor.
