ILFRACOMBE WILDER ROAD (West side) No.17 Jack's Dairy

GV II

House and shop. Probably about 1880. Rendered, solid walls. MATERIALS: tarred, slated roof with crested ridge tiles and terracotta finials. Base of red brick chimney on right side wall. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with garret; lower, 2-storeyed rear wing. 1-window front to Wilder Road; 1 window on splayed corner, 3 in return front on left (facing Bradwell Road). Rear wing is 3-windows-wide. Windows plain with mostly segmental arches; wooden canted bay window in second storey to Wilder Road. 2 of the second storey windows to Bradwell Road have margin panes with coloured glass. Best features are the shop windows facing Wilder Road and Bradwell Road. Each has a prominent coved cornice with gabled blocks, supported by pairs of shaped brackets at each end. The display window facing Bradwell Road has mullioned-and-transomed lights; transom-lights are blind with trefoil-headed and quatrefoil panels. Bracketed eaves on Bradwell Road side. INTERIOR not inspected. The house adjoins the southern end of Nos 19-45 (odd) Wilder Road (qv), a terrace of working-class houses dated 1880. Although No.17 is wholly different from the rest in architectural character, it seems probable that the whole block was developed at about the same time.
