Description
West Terrace is a terrace of six estate cottages located on Churston Road in Brixham, dating from the mid to late 19th century. The cottages are constructed from squared and coursed stone rubble, featuring red-brick door and window surrounds, although most of the windows are now rendered with cement. They have slated roofs and rendered chimneys on the party walls. Each cottage appears to be one room wide and two rooms deep, standing two storeys tall and spanning six windows in width.
The entrance porches for cottages two to five are gabled and arranged symmetrically, with those of cottages two and three positioned to the left of their ground-storey windows, while those of cottages four and five are to the right. The doorways feature three-sided arches and are fitted with plank doors that have strap hinges, ornamental handles, and letterboxes. The porches have plain bargeboards.
The windows are small-paned, two-light wooden casements, with ground-storey windows including transom lights. The ground-storey windows consist of four tall panes below and four short panes above, while the upper-storey windows have eight panes per sash. Some windows still retain their red-brick surrounds and are segmental-headed, specifically the upper-storey window at cottage three and both windows at cottage five. The upper-storey windows extend above the eaves line, creating low dormer gables with plain bargeboards.
The side walls of the cottages feature porches and windows similar to those at the front, although cottage one has a deeper porch with a simpler design, lacking the three-sided door-head, and is made of painted brick. The rear walls, which can be seen from Brixham Road, have windows and dormer gables that match the front. The front garden walls, gates, gate piers, and railings are listed separately. Notably, the terrace does not appear on the Churston Ferrers tithe map of 1839.
