• notes: 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-). Listing NGR: SX9229156010
