Probable stables for public house, later used as boat house and net loft. Early C19 (shown on 1843 tithe map). Killas and granite rubble with granite dressings; dry Delabole slate roof, hipped at the front, stepped down to narrower building behind front range and returned at rear left to a gable end. Deep L-shaped plan, built into a slope at the rear. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 2-window front range with central 1st-floor loading doorway with loft doorway over, flanked by segmental brick arches over horned late C19 6/6-pane sashes. Ground floor has wide central doorway with sliding boarded doors. The side elevations have regularly spaced window and door openings spanned by timber lintels and segmental brick arches. There are 2 1st-floor loading doorways. Most windows are late C19 12-pane horned sashes and the doorways have planked doors. INTERIOR not inspected except to note that heavy cross beams of original floor structure have been removed. The roof structure is likely to be original. Part of an important and little altered group in this former fishing and china clay port.
