St Germans Sailing Club Boathouse

The St Germans Sailing Club Boathouse, dating to around 1850, is a warehouse that has been adapted for use as a boathouse. It is constructed of slatestone rubble with granite dressings and has a 2-span slate roof with raised coped verges and kneelers. The building is situated alongside the River Tiddy, with its aesthetically treated front facing the river. The main entrance, at ground level, is on the front, featuring a large double doorway to the left and right, both with chamfered 4-centred arches, stone relieving arches, and double doors. Tall, round-arched, louvred ventilation windows are positioned above each doorway. The floor plan includes a cellar and loft. The front elevation has a double gable form. A pilaster is located to the left.

The river-facing elevation has three bays, with the central bay projecting forward under a gable. A 2-light casement window is positioned at the upper ground floor level in the central bay, formerly a loading door, with a 4-light casement above, also previously a loading door, both under a segmental head. A round-arched ventilator sits above that. The bays to either side have pilasters and contain two louvred ventilators at ground floor level and 2-light casements above, also originally loading doors. The right side of the building is built into the bank with a 20th-century external staircase leading to a door set within a rendered surround with a 4-centred arched, chamfered profile. Two 20th-century single-light windows flank the staircase, each with a flat stone arch. Similar single-light windows are present on the lower level to the right and left. The rear of the building includes two segmental-arched double doorways at loft level, and a single-storey, 20th-century shed is attached.

Historically, a tramway ran along the quay, used for horse-drawn trucks leading to St Germans station yard. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
