Kings House

Kings House is a house located on King Street in Lower Brixham, now divided into four flats. It likely dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century and was remodeled in the early to mid-19th century. The building features solid rendered walls, with the right side wall partly slate-hung on the upper storeys, and has a slated roof. There are two brick chimneys on the gable end to the right and one to the left.

The house is three storeys tall, with a basement and garret, and is three windows wide. The ground storey has a six-panelled centre door, with the two bottom panels flush, a lion-head knocker, and a three-paned fanlight above. Flanking the door are Doric columns with fluted capitals and triglyphed sections of frieze above, although the cornice or pediment is missing. On either side of the entrance are bow windows with eight-paned sashes. A later pent-roof extends across the tops of both bow windows and the doorway.

To the left is a cellar entrance with double plank doors. The second-storey windows have moulded architraves, friezes, and cornices, with two-paned sashes, although the glazing-bar is missing in the lower left-hand and upper right-hand sashes. In the third storey, the left-hand window has a moulded architrave and two-paned sashes, while the other two windows have been combined into a single metal-framed 20th-century window. Flanking the two upper storeys are panelled pilasters that stand on small mouldings at the first-floor level. The building has a deep flat eaves-cornice, which features a row of small brackets beneath it, suggesting the presence of an earlier cornice. The right side wall includes a small doorway with flanking pilasters and a cornice, with the pilasters incised with a key-pattern.
