Description
Denbury House is a house located in a row on Church Street in Modbury, dating from the late 18th century and mid 19th century. The left half of the building is rendered and scribed to resemble ashlar, while the right half is constructed of painted brickwork, both topped with slate roofs.
The left side features three storeys with two windows. The ground and first floors have tripartite sashes with 8:12:8 panes, while the remaining windows are small 12-pane sashes. On the right side, there is a six-panel door with a fanlight set within a lofty fluted 'Egyptian' column doorcase, topped by a dentilled entablature and segmental pediment, all on a single stone step. The building has a stepped plinth.
At the back, there are sashes in slate hanging and a large brick stack partway up the roof slope. The right side of the house has two and a half storeys with two windows, featuring 12-pane sashes in moulded architraves and segmental relieving arches on the ground and first floors. Half-dormers with 12-pane sashes are present at the eaves. The roof, which is separate from the left half, is swept out at the eaves over three sections of moulded cornice. The ground floor windows are set low to the pavement level, and there is a deep wing with a large external stack.
