Description

Torfrey is a house built in the 1830s to 1840s, located on King Street in Lower Brixham. It features solid rendered walls, with the right side wall covered in asbestos slate hanging, and a slated roof. There are rendered chimneys on each side wall. The house has two storeys and is three windows wide. The central doorway is round-arched and has a semicircular hood mould, a panelled door, and a fanlight with two radial bars. There is a late 19th-century half-glazed gabled porch with shaped bargeboards. The windows are plain sashes, except for the second-storey window in the centre, which is blind. Each end of the front has a giant pilaster, which is incised with a round-headed panel, and there is a deep, flat eaves cornice. The house is elevated above street level.

In front of the house, there is a garden with a painted stone rubble retaining wall topped with iron railings featuring fleur-de-lys heads on the uprights. On either side of the garden, there are additional painted stone rubble walls, with the left wall curving gently upwards towards the house.
