The Copperhouse Inn

The Copperhouse Inn is a public house located on Hayle Fore Street, likely dating from the 18th century and remodelled around the early 19th century. The building features stuccoed walls and hipped roofs behind stuccoed parapets, with brick chimneys on the end walls. The layout is irregular with a double depth plan, although the original configuration is uncertain. Currently, there are three rooms along the front, each under separate roofs. The two rooms to the left of the entrance hall are within parallel wings with hipped ends, while a wider room is built forward on the right within a wing that has its roof axis parallel to the front. The rear rooms, now service rooms, are likely part of the original range of the house, suggesting that the front is a 19th-century remodelling of what may have been a U-shaped structure with parlour wings on either side.

The exterior is two storeys tall and presents an asymmetrical four-window street front with a stuccoed plinth and a moulded parapet cornice. The wide wing on the right has rusticated stucco quoins. The first two windows are vertical, while the central ground floor window is wide with a segmental-arched head and a tripartite sash. The remaining windows are in similar wide openings. The entrance doorway is situated in the angle between the two left-hand bays and the front wing, featuring an open Doric porch supported by one detached square column and square antae columns. The windows are late 19th century or 20th century horned sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
