Description
The premises occupied by Homestead and Cornish Linen Service is a former Corubia biscuit factory, built around the late 19th century. It features granite rubble construction with brick dressings and stucco details, topped by a dry Delabole slate roof with gable ends and crested clay ridge tiles. A brick chimney on the right side serves No 21.
The building is designed to fit a polygonal, almost triangular site and consists of 10 bays in length, with a deeper right-hand side, all under one roof of varied pitch. It has three storeys plus an attic. The front facade is arranged in a 1:3:1:3:2 bay pattern, with brick piers dividing the bays that are treated as engaged columns with stucco mouldings. The ground and first floors have plain stucco sills and plinth caps, with moulded strings that break forward as capitals at the piers.
The ground floor windows are large and feature a fascia above, while the first floor windows are round-headed with stucco hoodmoulds. The second floor windows are paired sashes, set within segmental brick arches, and topped with a moulded stucco eaves cornice. The fifth bay from the left serves as a central entrance bay for bays two to eight, featuring a wide doorway and former loading doorways, each spanned by a segmental arch leading to the floors above. Above the eaves cornice is a steep gable dormer with a pair of round-headed sashes. The first bay on the far left has a doorway that was remodeled in the 20th century. The ground floor windows and those in the former loading bays date from the early 20th century, while the other windows are original, including fanlight-headed windows on the first floor and horned sashes in the other openings. The interior has not been inspected.
