Description

A range of three cottages with a former pilchard cellar and fish store, likely dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, sits on a cliff edge in Lower Brixham. The building is constructed of solid rendered walls with a slate roof, and has no visible chimneys from the street. The cottages appear to be approximately one room wide and two rooms deep. A passage and a flight of steps are situated between numbers 25 and 27, leading down to the rear of number 60 Middle Street (which is not included in the listing). A long pilchard cellar extends from the left-hand end of the building, almost to the steps leading down to Middle Street. The cottages have two storeys, with a three-window front. Number 29 features a late 20th-century wood-panelled door and two late 20th-century wood-framed windows. The pilchard cellar has half-glazed loading doors on its right side at upper storey level and two 19th or 20th-century wood-mullioned windows to its left. The left-hand gable end has double plank doors. A wide, seven-paned wood window with upright glazing bars is positioned in the upper storey. A segmental-arched doorway, complete with hook hinges, is located at the front of numbers 25 and 26, accompanied by sash windows with box frames and a single upright glazing bar to the right, and two further windows in the upper storey. Two similar windows are present on the right-hand side wall. The building is included for its group value.
