The "pièce de résistance of Regency Exeter, built in 1821 and apparently designed by John Brown of Exeter for Joseph Sparkes, a Quaker banker who lived in one of the houses, and named the terrace after William Penn's New England settlement". Only six of the eight planned houses were built, and together with other alterations it means that as a whole the effect now is "neither as intended, nor as built", even if each house no doubt remains a des res.
