Description

This is an early or mid-19th century house located on Tower Street in Bideford. It has solid rendered walls and a slate roof, with a rendered chimney on the right side wall. The house is two storeys high, featuring a window to the right of each storey, and a doorway to the left. The doorway has a 4-panelled door, likely from the 20th century. The windows are 6-paned Yorkshire sashes set in box frames. A moulded board runs beneath the eaves. The interior has not been inspected. The property occupies a prominent position in a narrow, picturesque street that leads from Buttgarden Street to the parish church of St Mary.
