No 29 And Attached Rear Boundary Railings

This is a house dating from approximately the 1840s and 1850s, situated on Clarence Hill in Dartmouth. It is constructed of stucco over stone rubble, with plastered brick chimney shafts and a slate roof. The house follows a double-depth plan, one room wide.

The front facade is two storeys and an attic, featuring a restrained Domestic Tudor style and two windows. A stucco doorcase with Tuscan flat pilasters and a moulded entablature on shallow console brackets frames a recessed doorway containing a good original panelled door. The door has fielded upper panels and vertically moulded bottom panels, with a narrow plain overlight. Windows have Tudor-style hoodmoulds and sills, and originally contained 12-pane sashes, horned. A replacement moulded timber eaves cornice runs along the top. The roof slopes parallel to the adjacent properties. Twentieth-century flat-roofed dormers are present at the front and rear.

The rear elevation retains original stucco detail, including rusticated quoins to the basement arcade and a string course at ground-floor level. It also features pedimented hoods on console brackets over the ground-floor windows and Tudor-style hoodmoulds over the first-floor windows. A two-bay arcade to the basement has rusticated stucco voussoirs and a central circular column with a moulded capital, now containing twentieth-century windows. The ground floor windows are tall 12-pane sashes, with an unusual horizontal glazing pattern of only two panes wide. Conventional 12-pane sashes are present on the first floor. The interior of the house has not been inspected, but is likely to hold interesting features.

The property includes a stone revetment wall to Browns Hill topped by original cast-iron spear-headed railings. It stands as part of a prominent terrace overlooking Dartmouth.
