Coastguard Station

The Coastguard Station in Brixham is an early 19th-century building that has been restored, altered internally, and extended between 1982 and 1984. It is constructed of stone rubble, with some areas rendered, and features a hipped slated roof that slopes towards the harbour. The building has rendered chimneys with plain stepped caps and is L-shaped, with the 1982-1984 addition located in the angle of the L. The south-west range previously housed a boathouse in its basement.

The structure is two storeys high with a basement, as the ground level slopes down towards the harbour. The south-west front has four windows. The ground storey features segmental-headed windows and a doorway at the right-hand end. The upper storey has flat-headed windows that alternate with canted bay windows, which are coved on the underside. Other windows have flat eared architraves with a projecting block on each jamb, and there is a boxed eaves-cornice. The gable end facing the harbour is similar in design, with a wide segmental-arched doorway with a plain architrave in the basement, a bay window above, and two flat-headed windows in the top storey. The rear range is styled similarly but lacks bay windows.

Throughout the building, small-paned sash windows are present, all of which appear to have been renewed during the 1982-1984 renovations. The interior has been almost entirely altered during this period, but one mid-19th-century round-arched iron fireplace with a hob grate remains on the upper floor.
