Villa. 1840s, early C20 alterations. Converted to holiday
accommodation. Built by Harvey (Ellis) for Edward Vivian,
co-founder of the Torquay Natural History Society, re-using
some material from Torwood Manor House (Ellis). Local grey
limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings; masonry of
Edwardian additions brought to course; slate roofs; stacks
with rendered, diagonally-set shafts with deep cornices.
PLAN: Irregular plan, stepping down the steep slope with a
first-floor entrance on the east side onto Woodfield Road.
EXTERIOR: 1, 2, and 3 storeys. 3-bay entrance elevation with
an early C20 projecting porch to the left with a coped gable
with kneelers, a Tudor-arched outer doorway and an early C20
two-leaf door. Single-storey early C20 projection in the
centre is embattled and incorporates a 5-light mullioned and
transomed stair window with stained glass. Left-hand bay blind
with a projecting stack with triple shafts. Irregular 5-window
west front with 2 gables, a canted bay window on the ground
floor with a parapet and some original glazing of octagonal

moulded frames and mullions. Edwardian addition to the left is

INTERIOR: Mostly early C20, including the stair but retains a
