Description
The Agricultural Merchants building is a warehouse dating from the early 19th century, located on the wharf of the Bude Canal, which began construction in 1819. It is constructed of stone rubble with a rough plinth and large freestone quoins, topped by a three-span hipped slate roof, with slates cut to the hips and no guttering. At the right end, there is a lean-to that features two brick buttresses. The building has two storeys and a three-bay symmetrical front. The wide central entrance has double timber plank doors with curved strap hinges, set beneath segmental stone voussoirs. The ground floor windows on either side of the entrance have stone segmental arches and plank shutters. On the first floor, there are two windows with shutters and a central loft door. The interior has not been inspected.
