House, now divided into flats, circa 1839, some late 20th century modernisation. Mixed construction; side and back wall of plastered stone rubble and front wall of slate-hung timber-framing above first-floor level; stacks with roughcast brick chimneyshafts and some old pots; slate roof. Exterior: Ground floor now occupied by 20th century garage door and contemporary windows above in slate-hung front. Canted bay rises through first and second floor, lower one containing horned 12-pane sashes (2 forward and one each side) and upper one containing aluminium-framed large picture windows. Smaller aluminium-framed canted bay window under gable. Left return built against Bearscove Castle. Stone steps rise along right return where there are 20th century doors to the flats but also some 19th century twelve-pane sashes. Interior: Not inspected, but large plain crossbeams were noticed. According to Freeman the quay was extended to Bearscove Castle in 1839, at the same time providing the site to build No.12. She also publishes an early 20th century photograph which shows the house with its original front. (Freeman, Ray: Dartmouth and its Neighbours: Phillimore: 1990-: p54; Plate.80).
