Description

Wharf Cottage is a house that was later used as a wharfinger's cottage and is now a private residence. It likely dates from the 17th century or early 18th century. The building features painted stone rubble and cob, with cob walls on the outshut. It has a scantle slate roof with hipped ends and brick stacks at the ends. The layout consists of two rooms with a cross or through passage heated by the end stacks. A lean-to service outshut, added in the 18th century, extends across the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front with complete 19th-century casements made of crown glass. The central entrance is a 19th-century six-panel door with a slate hood, flanked by two three-light casements. On the first floor, there is a central two-light casement with two three-light casements on either side. The interior has not been inspected. The house was occupied by the wharfinger after the Bude Canal opened in 1823 and is located near the now filled-in canal basin of Druxton Wharf. The former stable and warehouse to the northwest have not been inspected.
