Numbers 34, 35 And 36 And Attached Walls And Gate Piers

Numbers 34, 35, and 36 are a terrace of three houses located in Devon Square, Newton Abbot, dating from around 1840 to 1860. The houses are stepped downhill from No. 34 to the left and feature painted stucco exteriors with slate roofs and rendered stacks on the left side of each house. The plan includes double-depth layouts with two-storey rear wings.

Architecturally, the houses have bracketed eaves, eaves bands, moulded first-floor sill courses, and plinths. They are fitted with 6/6-pane sash windows. The left range of each house steps forward and features a gabled half-dormer. These ranges have shallow-pitched roofs framed by plain pilasters, with eaves bands over semicircular arched first-floor windows that are two panes wide and six panes high, complete with keystones and moulded archivolts on consoles. The doorcases also have similar archivolts supported by clasping pilasters. The doors for Nos. 34 and 35 are from the 20th century, while No. 36 has a four-panel door from the 19th century. Between the keystones and the sill bands are dentil cornices. The first-floor right windows have pilasters between the eaves bands and sill bands, while the ground-floor windows feature raised eared surrounds, slightly pedimented lintels, and brackets at the sills. The windows on the left return are similar.

The interiors have not been inspected. The forecourts are enclosed by coped and rendered walls, which are situated between painted rendered gate piers that have plinths and shallow pyramidal caps. The coped walls at the front display elaborate panels of pierced interlocking circles. Devon Square was developed for the Courtenays under the designs of JW Rowell.
