INTERIOR: not inspected but likely to be of interest and as
unaltered as the exterior.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: low freestone plinth to wrought-iron
railings, some with spearhead finials, turned cast-iron
stanchions with acorn finials and newels with anthemion heads.
Included as part of a fine planned group of terraces and
villas by Foulston and his pupil Wightwick on the Hoe, a
scheme which placed Plymouth at the forefront of town planning
in the early/mid C19.
