Description
Nos. 1 and 2 are a pair of cottages built as a single range, likely remodeled in the 18th or 19th century from an earlier structure. They feature solid rendered walls with exposed quoins of Devonian limestone and red sandstone on the left side walls. The cottages have a hipped slated roof and a red-brick chimney designed with an entablature on the ridge above the party wall, along with a rendered chimney with two round pots on the rear wall of No. 1.
The buildings are two storeys high and three windows wide, with the right-hand window belonging to No. 2. Each cottage has plank doors and windows with 2-light wood casements, each light containing eight panes. Both houses have similar windows in the upper storey of their side walls and in the rear wall.
A notable feature is the low wall of Devonian limestone rubble extending along Brixham Road, interspersed with pieces of red sandstone and topped with upright stones to create a battlemented effect. Square gate piers made of large sandstone blocks are also present. The cottages occupy an important corner site and relate to groups of listed buildings along both Brixham and Churston Roads. They are depicted as a single house on the Churston Ferrers tithe map of 1839.
