Formerly known as: Hearthstone MILTON STREET Higher Brixham.
Farmhouse, now divided into 2 private dwellings. C17 or
earlier. Rendered stone rubble, possible with some cob.
Thatched roof. Large stone rubble chimneys on front wall and
rear wing of Hearthstone; 2 more on ridge and left end wall of
Hearthstone East. Position of front chimney and adjacent door
suggests this is a 3-room-and-cross-passage house with large
addition at lower (left) end. Rear wing to right. 2 storeys. 5
windows wide. Both houses have plank doors, probably C20. Two-
and 3-light wood casement windows, some with old hinges;
diamond-shaped leaded panes. Subsidiary features: in front of
the houses a tall stone rubble wall, with square gate piers at
Hearthstone East. Entrance to Hearthstone is under a round
stone rubble arch, probably C20. 1975 list describes this as
'completely though sympathetically restored in 1930s'.
