TEIGNMOUTH COOMBE VALE ROAD (South West side) No.31 and attached gate, gate piers and wall

(Formerly listed as No.31 and attached gates, gate piers and wall)

GV II House at a right-angle to the road and attached to No.29 (qv). Early C19. Painted stucco, slate roof with stack to right. Two-unit plan with C20 extension to the right. Picturesque style.

The gabled garden front facing north-west has a fretted bargeboard, two-light margin-paned casement windows with margin-paned overlights of horizontal diamond-shaped panes, one to the attic and two to the lower floors; louvred shutters to the first floor, probably C20. Timber Tuscan columns support a prostyle porch with a moulded cornice and pediment over a door with six raised-and-fielded panels and a narrow overlight.

INTERIOR: an open-well open-string staircase with high swan's neck handrail extends up to the attic, six-panel doors, a fireplace with a reeded surround and roundels to the upper corner blocks has a later C19 cast-iron arch-plate register grate.

SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: a wall attached to the north-east corner fronts the street. It extends to the right to plain gate piers flanking a pedestrian gateway.

A substantially complete example of C19 cottage ornee, similar in style to others in the Teignmouth area.
