House on a curved corner site. Early C19. Painted render, hipped slate roof with stack to east, left end. 3-unit plan. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; 2-window range. The doorcase to the right-of-centre 6-panel door has reeded pilasters, simple caps, a moulded cornice to the entablature over a shallow overlight with margin panes and a horizontal diamond-shaped pane to the centre. 6/6-pane sash window in a moulded forward frame to the right below a canted 1st and 2nd-floor bay with similar windows and flanking 4/4-pane sashes. The wall above the door is blank to the 1st floor; to the 2nd floor it is jettied out from the curved front to merge with the right-hand range. C20 sashes to the far left of the door with an original 8/8-pane sash to the ground floor. Between the far left-hand windows and the door the wall is blank. The left return is blank, the rear has late C19 horned 2/2-pane sashes and C20 windows. INTERIOR: not inspected but said to retain some original features. Facade distinguished by its upper-floor bays, an unusual feature in Teignmouth but common in other coastal towns of the early C19 such as Weymouth.
