Tea Rooms And Two Cottages Adjoining On East

The building consists of tea rooms and two cottages on the east side, likely originating as stables with the cottages added later. The stables were once partly used as a laundry but are now functioning as tea rooms. This structure dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, while the cottages were added in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with brick vaulting inside and features a rag slate roof with hipped and gable ends, along with brick axial and end stacks.

The layout includes an earlier range on the left, which has tea rooms at the front and a disused laundry at the rear. The original purpose is uncertain, but it is possible that it served as stables. The right-hand room, which continues undivided from front to rear, has a groin-vaulted ceiling of particularly fine quality brick. To the right are two double-depth, two-room cottages, each with entrances on the left and a front room on the right, heated by an axial and end stack.

The exterior is two storeys high with a regular three-one-one window arrangement featuring dressed stone segmental arches. The tea rooms on the left have an almost symmetrical three-window front, with a gable that contains a clock above the central bay and a central louvred cupola topped with a weather vane, the fox being a 20th-century reproduction. The central part has a glazed door flanked by a mullion and transom window on the left and a two-light casement on the right. Above, there are two mullion and transom windows with a two-light casement to the right. The two cottages to the left each have a 19th-century six-panelled door and a three-light casement with a three-light casement above. The side and rear elevations feature mullion and transom windows, with at least one window dating from the late 17th century and others being 20th-century replacements that follow the earlier pattern. The 17th-century windows may have been reused, possibly originally from Pencarrow House.

Inside, the right-hand room of the tea rooms boasts a fine brick groin-vaulted ceiling and a chimney-piece from the early 19th century.
