Hm Coastguard Rescue Station Including Walls, Piers, Railings At Front Approach

The HM Coastguard Rescue Station, built around 1889, is a single-storey structure located on Berry Head Road in Brixham. It is constructed from coursed, rough-faced squared stone rubble and features a slated roof with a stone chimney that has an entablature on the rear gable. The building is a small oblong shape, positioned at right angles to the road and set back from it.

The front of the station has double plank doors that are ribbed and fitted with large strap-hinges. The gable displays chamfered coping with kneelers and features a round panel in the center with the initials "BT." The rear gable mirrors the front gable. Each side wall includes a window with 8-paned sashes.

Flanking the approach to the building are two stone walls that are bonded into the structure, each topped with flat coping. At the front of these walls are square chamfered piers with pyramidal caps. The left wall has an iron gate with spear-head uprights. Beyond the piers, there are two low stone walls of similar design, which are topped with railings that also have spear-head uprights. A similar low wall and railing extend at right angles from the right-hand pier, with both sets of railings ending in square piers with pyramidal caps. The left set of railings is part of the garden railing for No. 32 Berry Head Road.
