Belgrave House

Belgrave House is a house dating from around 1850, currently used as a language school. It is rendered with a slate roof that is hipped at the ends, and features stacks with rendered shafts. The building is located at the end of Winner Street, facing up Totnes Road, and has a double-depth rectangular plan that is two rooms wide. It is possible that No. 4 Winner Street and Nos. 38-42 (even) Totnes Road were originally part of this building.

The house has three storeys and a symmetrical three-bay front, with the central bay slightly projecting forward. It has deep eaves supported by paired moulded brackets, and features pilaster strips on the left and right, an eaves band, and platbands at the first and second-floor sill levels. A projecting central porch has stout, square-section piers with plinths, plain sunk panels, and moulded capitals that support what is likely a 20th-century parapet. The left and right sides of the porch have segmental-headed arches.

There are steps leading up to a six-panel 19th-century front door, which has a plain overlight and glazed panels on either side. The ground floor and outer first-floor windows are fitted with two over two-pane sashes that have horizontal glazing bars. The central first-floor French window features glazing bars within a recessed rendered frame. The right-hand window on the second floor is likely an original three over six-pane sash, while the left-hand window has been reglazed as a casement. Above the central section, there are a pair of small round-headed windows positioned over two-pane sash windows.

The interior has not been inspected but may contain features of interest. Historically, Winner Street was the main medieval thoroughfare in Paignton and was named after the bishops' vineyard.
