Drake House Including Front Area Railings And Shoescraper

Drake House is an early 19th-century house located on Bolton Street in Lower Brixham. The house has solid rendered walls and a hipped tiled roof, with a chimney on the right side wall. It is a double-fronted, probably double-depth design, spanning three storeys with a high basement. The symmetrical front elevation has three windows. The central doorway has a segmental head, a plain raised surround, a 6-panelled door, and an Egyptian-head door knocker, with the two lower panels flush. The windows are box-framed sashes with horns and a single horizontal glazing bar in each sash. A window in the middle of the top storey is blind. A deep, flat eaves cornice runs along the top. In front of the house is a high, raised terrace with original iron railings featuring spearheads on the uprights. A patterned iron shoe scraper is set into the left side wall, at the foot of the steps to the front door. Garage doors have been cut into the front of the terrace on the right-hand side.
