Full description

Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.

The kitchen to Kirkham House was a separate building on the south side at its rear, inclined at an angle towards it. Like the house it was of the local red sandstone (breccia) conglomerate, and has been dated to the 15th century. Low stone walls survive on the east and south sides; it it believed that the original stack was in the now missing west wall. The 19th century cast-iron pump is located outside the rear door to the house. [1][2][3]
