163, Winner Street

No. 163 Winner Street is a house that likely dates from the late 18th century. It has a rendered exterior and a slate roof that is gabled at both ends, with end stacks, one of which has a brick shaft. The house has a double-depth plan, two rooms wide, and features a secondary cartway to the right.

The building stands three storeys tall and has a largely symmetrical front with three windows. The ground floor has a central six-panel front door with a blocked overlight, and the cartway is located to the right. The windows are 16-pane sashes from the late 18th or early 19th century, with blind recesses on the first and second floors in the centre.

The interior has not been inspected, but the cartway is said to have been built in connection with the bakery business at No. 161. It includes a red sandstone fireplace that dates from its time as a domestic room, and there may be other interesting features elsewhere in the house. Historically, Winner Street was the main medieval thoroughfare in Paignton and is named after the bishops' vineyard.
