St Kilda

St Kilda is a house located in Higher Brixham, dating from the early to mid-19th century. It features solid rendered walls with painted stone rubble at the rear and a slated roof that sweeps over the front eaves, topped with crested red ridge-tiles. There are rendered chimneys on each end wall and another on the rear wing. The house has a double-fronted plan with a rear wing to the left and stands two storeys tall with a symmetrical three-window front.

The central doorway is framed by a trellised wood porch and features a half-glazed door with a single flush panel at the bottom and two tall glazed panels above, along with a patterned semicircular fanlight. The windows have splayed reveals and straight hoodmoulds, consisting of two-light, small-paned wood casements with margin-panes, having four panes in the ground storey and three above. An upper-storey sill-band and raised quoins at each end of the ground storey add to the architectural detail, as do the pilasters with round-headed panels in the upper storey.

The deep, flat eaves-cornice is decorated with lion-heads, and the right side wall mirrors the quoins, pilasters, and sill-band, featuring a raised band that links the heads of the pilasters. The ground storey has two plain flat-headed windows, while the upper storey has two round-headed windows, one of which is blind. At the rear, there are wood casements, including a three-light window with three panes per light and a small four-paned sash window. The interior has not been inspected, but the house is noted as a complete example with Picturesque Tudor details.
