The Rising Sun Public House

The Rising Sun Public House is a public house located on The Quay in Lower Brixham, dating from the early to mid 19th century. The building features a rendered front and a slated roof, with a rebuilt brick chimney on the right gable end. It stands three storeys tall and is two windows wide.

On the ground floor, there is a central doorway with panelled double doors and a four-paned fanlight above. Flanking the doorway are mullioned-and-transomed windows, likely from the late 19th century. The window to the right is adorned with wooden pilasters that separate the lights and support an entablature, although the capital of the left pilaster and the cornice of the entablature are missing.

Above the ground floor, pilaster strips rise to a band course, with rusticated pilaster strips at each end of the upper storeys. The second storey features triple-sashed windows, each with a single upright glazing-bar in the middle sash, while the third storey has three matching single-light sash windows. The building is capped with a deep, flat eaves-cornice.
