BRIXHAM

SX9055 CHURSTON ROAD, Churston Ferrers
1946-1/6/55 (West side)
10/01/75 Nos.1-6 (Consecutive) West Terrace

GV II

Terrace of 6 estate cottages. Mid/late C19. Squared and
coursed stone rubble with red-brick door and window surrounds;
most of the latter now rendered with cement. Slated roofs.
Rendered chimneys on the party-walls. The cottages appear to
be 1 room wide and 2 rooms deep. Doors of Nos 1 & 6 are in the
side walls. 2 storeys. 6 windows wide. Gabled entrance porches
to Nos 2-5, arranged symmetrically so that those of Nos 2 & 3
lie to the left of their ground-storey window and those of Nos
4 & 5 to the right. Doorways have 3-sided arches; plank doors
with strap-hinges, ornamented handles and letterboxes. Porches
have plain bargeboards. Windows have small-paned 2-light wood
casements, those in ground storey with transom-lights; in
ground storey, 4 tall panes below and 4 short ones above, in
upper storey 8 panes per sash. Those windows still with
red-brick surrounds are segmental-headed; that is to say, the
upper-storey window at No.3 and both windows at No.5. The
upper-storey windows rise above the eaves-line to form low
dormer gables with plain bargeboards. The side walls have
porches and windows like those at the front, except that No.1
has a deeper porch of plainer design (lacking 3-sided
door-head) and painted brick. Rear walls (visible from Brixham
Road) have windows and dormer-gables like those at the front.
The front garden walls, gates, gate piers and railings are
separately listed (qv). The terrace is not shown on the
Churston Ferrers tithe map of 1839.
