Georgian terraces and new-town homes
St Leonards and Southernhay have elegant Georgian terraces with painted render and sash windows, many in conservation areas. Topsham's waterside houses add salt air and older construction to the mix.
Cranbrook and newer estates on the edge of the city are dominated by modern homes that typically need their first redecoration a few years after completion.

Painting outside in South West England: weather and permissions
The South West is mild but wet, with Atlantic weather reaching Devon and Cornwall first. Masonry needs a dry spell before it is painted, and coastal homes face salt and driving rain, so breathable masonry paints and well-prepared woodwork make a real difference. Bath stone and Cotswold stone are usually left unpainted.
Repainting in the existing colour rarely needs permission, but listed buildings, and homes in conservation areas covered by an Article 4 direction, can need consent to paint the front or change its colour. More on exterior painting.
