GV II

Planned mews terrace. Mid C19. Stucco with stucco detail;
asbestos slate parallel roofs with copings over party walls
and brick end and axial stacks. Double-depth plan, the 2
central houses each with 2 rooms at the front and central
entrances, the end houses each with 1 room at the front and
with entrance next to the central houses.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys over basement; 2:3:3:2-window range. The
central houses have segmental-arched openings except for pair
of round-arched lights to each house over central doorway, the
end houses each with similar single light over doorway and
tripartite windows separated by a moulded entablature and
mid-floor string to left or right, otherwise this string is
plain. Other stucco detail includes: channelled rustication
and keyed arches with voussoirs to ground floor; rusticated
quoins to end houses at 1st floor, and most 1st-floor windows
with plain architraves or pilasters and keyed arches. Possibly
original horned sashes, overlights and panelled doors where
original.
INTERIOR: not inspected but likely to be of interest.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: forecourt walls, boundary walls and
entrance bridges with ramped walls surmounted by wrought-iron
railings with arrow-head finials and turned stanchions with
turned finials.
Included as part of an important planned group of terraces and
villas by Foulston and his pupil Wightwick on the Hoe, a
scheme which placed Plymouth in the forefront of town planning
in the early/mid C19.
