Description
A house, likely dating from the 18th century or earlier, with alterations in the 1830s, located on Winner Street in Paignton. The building is now used as a shop with living accommodation above and includes a house. It is stuccoed and thought to have a timber-frame construction above the first floor, with a gabled slate roof and a right-end stack with a shaft of stone rubble. The plan is an L-shape, comprising a double-depth main block and an unheated rear wing.
The front of the building has three storeys and two windows, arranged asymmetrically. The ground floor features a 20th-century shopfront to the left, with a plate-glass window projecting towards a glazed door to the right. A recessed 20th-century front door is present for No. 161, with a two-pane sash window to the right. The first floor has two 2-over-2-pane sash windows at slightly different heights, and the second floor has two 2-light casements.
The ground floor of No. 159 was inspected and altered for shop use. While access to No. 161 was not possible during the survey, it is reported to have been used as a commercial bakery, with a bakehouse containing ovens still surviving. Winner Street was the main medieval thoroughfare in Paignton and was named after the bishops' vineyard.
