PROPERTY HISTORY

The property was originally thought to have been two separate cottages / stone building used in conjunction with a close by windmill.
The woodland area beside the property was an important source of Yellow Ochre, this was processed and used in the local fishing industry to protect and weatherproof the sails of the fishing fleet of the time. This is what created the famous red sails associated with Brixham's fishing history.
This Ochre was also the key ingredient used to create the first rust proofing paint in association with the Brixham paint works, and was then used across the world.
