This well-preserved late medieval house, built of local stone, lies near the centre of the town. It probably belonged to a well-to-do landowning or merchant family, and had a grand hall with space for up to 20 people to dine together. The house now contains modern furniture, illustrating traditional craftsmanship and the original use of the rooms.
The House is owned by English Heritage, and is opened to the public by Paignton Heritage Society who provide guided tours. Entry is free, donations welcome.
