Description
Kent House, located at 11 Mousehole Brook Street, is likely from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble and features a slate roof with gable ends. The building is low, with two storeys and three windows that are spaced irregularly. The windows are sash style and do not have glazing bars. There is an early 20th-century glazed porch at the gable end, and to the left, there is a doorway with a slanting head. Brick chimney stacks are present. Kent House is included in the listing for its group value with nearby buildings, including No 3, Bill and Biddy's Craftman Shop, and Nos 5, 7, and 11.
