62 And 64, Seymour Road

This is a mid-19th century house, now divided into two separate dwellings, located in Newton Abbot. The exterior is rendered with a slate roof and moulded stacks to the rear right and two flanking the central room. The building is arranged in a complex L-shape, with a large, three-storey service wing extending from the rear left corner.

The west-facing front is two storeys with cellars and has a seven-window range featuring wooden cross windows within chamfered architraves. A castellated parapet, slightly projecting and incorporating blocks simulating machicolation, runs along the roofline. The building has rendered rusticated quoins and raised rusticated architraves to the cross windows, which have two-paned casements. Number 62, on the right-hand side, has a large, canted and castellated bay that rises above the parapet. A single-storey, castellated porch is situated within the angle between the bay and the projecting right-hand range. The outer door is pointed-arched and moulded, with vertical panels, while the inner door is also panelled, leading onto a polychromatic tiled floor. Number 64, originally the service wing to the left, has entrances on the left return and south-facing garden front. It features a three-storey, three-window range with similar windows; the central windows on the upper floors are blind. A castellated, single-storey block on the right has 20th-century windows and doors.

Inside, the house retains panelled shutters, moulded cornices and ceiling roses. The central ground-floor room boasts a white marble fireplace flanked by Tuscan pillars. The room to the left has a black marble fireplace, and the fireplaces on the first floor are later 19th-century cast-iron arch-plate grates. The bedroom in the canted bay has panelled shutters. The staircase, situated against the rear wall, is open-well and open-string, with fretted ends, stick balusters and a mahogany rail wreathed at the top and to both sides of the base. The interior of Number 64 is reported to have been altered.
