GV II

Building described in 1975 list as 'originally the stable and
coach house block of a house called Parkham Wood, since
demolished'. Now restaurant and club. Early C19. Solid
rendered walls with some painted stone rubble. Hipped slated
roof. Rendered chimney at rear.
Long rectangular block, 1 room deep, fronting New Road. Rear
wing to left, along Parkham Road. 2 storeys. Consists of a
centre block, hipped to the front, with slightly lower wings,
hipped at each end. Windows of centre block (mid/late C20
metal frames) are set in a shallow segmental-headed recess
with flanking pilasters. Ground-storey window occupies part of
what appears to have been a coach entrance on left-hand side;
upper-storey window centrally placed. The wings each have 2
shallow, square-headed recesses, the narrower one adjoining
the centre block. In the ground storey of each narrower
opening is a round-headed panel, that to right now containing
a late C20 glazed wood door; upper storeys have blank panels
with cranked heads. The wider recesses have windows to right
and are blind to left. Deep bracketed eaves-cornice, continued
round left side wall of main building. Latter has a large,
shallow, flat-headed recess with late C20 door and window.
Rear wing is much plainer with late C20 door and window in
ground storey. In upper storey are 2 rather older 5-light,
wood-framed casement windows.
The 1838 tithe map shows both this and Parkham Wood House (the
latter not named on either the map or the apportionment) as
owned and occupied by Richard Walter Woolston. The latter,
described as an attorney and notary, is shown at Parkham Wood
in Pigot's Directory of 1844.
(Brixham Tithe Map and Apportionment: 1838-).
