Description
The Globe Hotel is a public house located in Lower Brixham, likely built in the early 18th century and altered in the early or mid 19th century. The front is solidly rendered, while the rear wing is made of painted stone rubble. It features a slated roof and has three rendered chimneys at the back. The building has a single-depth plan that is two rooms wide, with a central cart entrance. There are rear wings on both the right and left sides. The structure is three storeys tall and four windows wide. The ground storey has a plain cart entrance in the centre, flanked by plain panelled double doors. The windows are mostly plain sashes set in recessed box-frames, except for a flush frame at the left end of the third storey. The ground storey has two windows to the left of the entrance, while the right side features a 19th-century shallow canted bay with a moulded cornice. On the second storey, there is a large 19th-century canted bay window with a frieze and moulded cornice. The entire front has raised quoins and a coved eaves-cornice.
Inside, the public rooms on the ground floor were inspected. The left room has some exposed stone rubble, including a rear wall with a wide fireplace that has a segmental brick arch, and a similar deep niche to the left of it. A door from the passage to the right front room features a four-panelled door with raised-and-fielded, two-fillet ovolo-moulded panels, with the upper two panels now glazed.
