Description
Waterloo House is an early 19th-century house located in Lower Brixham. The front of the house is solidly rendered, while the side walls feature asbestos slate hanging, and there is a stone rubble side wall for the service wing. The roof is slated, and there are rendered chimneys on each side wall. The house has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high with a garret, featuring three windows across the front. There is one ground-storey window that conceals the service wing to the right. The central doorway is round-arched and flanked by reeded pilasters and a moulded archivolt, with three-panelled double doors that have matching reveals, where the bottom panels are flush. The main house windows are fitted with two-paned sashes, and the building has raised quoins and a small boxed eaves-cornice. The service wing's front wall is plain and rises to a parapet with simple coping that curves gently towards the main building; it has a window with plain sashes. A large, flat-topped dormer from the late 20th century is present on the main building.
The house is elevated above street level, with a front garden that features a painted stone rubble retaining wall topped with a plain, original iron railing. At the right-hand end of the wall are two square gate piers made of painted stone rubble, each capped flat. The side garden walls are also of stone rubble, with the right wall ramping up in shallow curves in two steps.
