Description
Sampford House is an early 19th-century house in Lower Brixham, later subdivided and now used as a guest house. The building has solid rendered walls and a slated roof, with a rendered chimney on each side wall. It is three storeys high and originally three windows wide. The central doorway and the window above it have segmental heads, while the other windows have flat heads. A late 20th-century panelled wooden door is found at the centre and to the right-hand end. The ground and second-floor windows have six-paned sashes in box frames, while those in the third storey are later wood casements; the middle window on the second and third floors is blind. A flat eaves cornice is present.
