43, Brownston Street

No. 43 Brownston Street is a mid-19th century house located in a row of similar buildings in Modbury. The exterior is rendered and scribed, with the right gable hung with slate. The house features a plain front block and a deep wing on the left side. It has three storeys and a cellar, with three windows on the ground and first floors, and four windows on the second floor, all of which are 4-pane sashes, some with horns.

On the ground floor, there is a sash window set in a moulded architrave with a stone sill, alongside a canted bay window with a 2:4:2-pane configuration. To the left of the bay, there is an off-centre 6-panel door beneath a plain transom light, situated in deep reveals and topped with a cornice supported by consoles. The first floor has two sashes similar to those below, with architraves and sills supported by small consoles, and the upper level of the canted bay leads to a hipped lead roof. The second floor features four sashes with plain stone sills.

Additional architectural details include a plinth, a plat-band at the first floor, and slight box eaves. There is a brick stack on the left side and a large eaves stack at the back where it joins the wing. On the right return gable, a plank door leads down stone steps to the cellar. The building is included in the register primarily for its group value with other nearby structures.
