The street leaves the bottom of Fore Street, linking it across Dean Burn with Strode Road. The conservation area appraisal has these comments about the house on the left: "Vine Cottage: Grade II: Along with its neighbour, 19 Elliot Place {they mean Elliot Plain}, this building is the focal point at the bottom of Fore St. Like the Globe Inn it is a simple but pleasant building that gently deflects the eye along Station Road and Elliot Plain. Built on a bridge over the Dean Burn, this makes it an unusual building and the railings and gate are a positive feature." http://www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/li-buckfastleigh.pdf More architectural detail is at http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=392263&mode=quick and http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=392315&mode=quick
