24, Southtown

No. 24 is a late 18th and early 19th century house in Dartmouth. It is built of local stone rubble, with a roughcast front and slate hanging to the south end. The end stack features a rendered brick chimneyshaft with old chimneypots, and the roof is slate.

The house has a plan of two rooms wide, extending to a double depth, incorporating a central front door leading to a through passage with a staircase at the rear. A small rear service block is also present. The exterior presents a symmetrical two-window front over three storeys. A central, round-headed doorway is recessed, with four semi-circular stone steps projecting onto the street. The original six-panel door is protected by a fanlight with radial glazing bars. The ground and second floors contain twelve-pane sashes. The first floor features two large bow windows, incorporating tripartite sashes with front horns and sixteen-pane glazing, projecting cornices and flat roofs. A timber modillion eaves cornice runs along the top. The roof is parallel with the street and hipped at each end. Modern casements are visible to the rear, along with 20th-century extensions.

The interior was noted to contain a stick-baluster staircase, though it has not been inspected.
