Early twentieth-century houses (at a guess) on the upslope side of Higher Brimley look out over the late Victorian polychrome brick Higher Brimley Terrace, right: http://www.geograph.org.uk/p/3183080 This is a frequently-seen feature of Teignmouth's suburbs. As the town has spread up the generally south-facing steep hillsides, the later upslope houses look out over the roofs of earlier houses downslope. Rear access is often at first floor level. Front doors may be up flights of steps from the street. Front gardens are often supported by retaining walls, as here.
