BRIXHAM

SX9256SE KING STREET, Lower Brixham 1946-1/11/174 (South East side) 10/01/75 Nos.83 AND 85 including front area walls, railings and gate (Formerly Listed as: KING STREET No.83)

GV II

House; its service wing now divided off as a separate house (No.85). Early/mid C19. Solid rendered walls. Hipped slated roof. Rendered chimney on left side wall. House 3 storeys; former service range 2 storeys. Each is 3 windows wide. House has symmetrical front with round-arched central doorway with cornice on consoles; 2-panelled double doors with knocker and old metal letterbox; fanlight with radial bars terminating in small circles. Windows have barred sashes; 6 over 6 panes in ground and second storeys, 3 over 6 panes in third storey. Rusticated pilaster-strip at each end of front. Raised sill-band in second storey. Deep, flat eaves-cornice with a shaped bracket at each corner; gutter decorated with lion-heads. Sill-band and eaves-cornice continued round both side walls, which have no openings. Service wing has late C20 small-paned wood casements and is set well back from the front of the main house. Subsidiary features: the buildings stand well above street level, the area in front of them having a painted stone rubble retaining wall. This is continued upwards to form stone piers at the left-hand and in the middle. From the piers original iron railings with moulded heads to the uprights span the whole frontage, returning at the right-hand end to protect the head of the steps up from the street, where there is a matching gate. At the bottom of the steps there was originally another gate; a tall, square pier of painted stone rubble survives on the right-hand side, with the base of another on the left. Part of the retaining wall has been rendered, apparently in late C20 when garage doors, window and house door were inserted. At the left-hand end is a doorway with brick jamb and segmental arch, probably inserted in late C19.
