Description
Harbour Cottage is an 18th-century building located in Fisherman's Square, Mousehole. It is constructed of whitewashed rubble and features a slate hipped roof with an L-shaped plan. The cottage has two storeys and includes three windows on the first floor and one on the ground floor. The windows consist of various casements and sashes, most of which are modern. A notable feature is the large square bay window on the first floor, which has a hipped roof that extends above the eaves. There are external stone steps leading to the first-floor door. On the harbour-facing side, there is a sash window with glazing bars on the first floor and a modern square bay window on the ground floor, which rises from the harbour wall. Harbour Cottage is part of a group that includes Harbour Studio and Nos 4 and 6.
