Description
Fisherman's Cottage Inn is an early 19th-century building designed in the Gothick style. It is two storeys tall and has an asymmetrical façade made of painted ashlar. The roof is slate and hipped, featuring two brick chimneys that add to its picturesque appearance. The flat eaves are adorned with corner pendants. The building has three bays, with the central bay projecting forward and featuring a canted and crenellated design that is wider on the ground floor. Above this bay is a moulded stone gable with a bargeboard and an apex pendant. On the first floor, the left-hand window is a square oriel with chamfered sides, while both the canted bay and the oriel have decorative cornice corners. The windows are two-light metal casements with glazing bars and hoodmoulds, and there is a single light window above the door to the right, also with a hoodmould. The building displays a Royal Fire Insurance Mark.
