Description

Ring O'Bright Water is a house located in a row of buildings on Loe Bar Road in Porthleven, Helston. It dates from the early to mid-19th century and is constructed of painted rubble with granite dressings, topped with an asbestos slate roof and featuring brick end stacks. The house has a double-depth plan that includes a rear extension and stands two storeys high. The front is symmetrical with three windows, featuring original 12-pane hornless sash windows. There is a central doorway that has a 20th-century top-glazed door. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted that original ceiling joists and other features have survived.
