The Pier House Hotel, Harbourside Inn And Attached Outbuildings

The Pier House Hotel, Harbourside Inn, and attached outbuildings are hotel premises dating from the late 18th century, with later extensions. The building features a rendered exterior on what is likely rubble, while the outbuildings are constructed of rubble with dry Delabole slate roofs, hipped over the hotel block. There is a brick axial stack towards the right of the original front range. The original building has a rectangular two-room plan with a central rear stair projection. There is a rear left-hand service wing that is possibly original and a lower wing, now the Harbourside Inn, that runs parallel to the front range. The ground floor space between the U-shaped hotel block is now filled with a flat-roofed entrance building. Additionally, there are two parallel linked wings set back on the left of the original block.

The exterior consists of a three-storey front and attached rear wing, a two-storey parallel rear range, and single-storey outbuildings. The front has a regular four-window range, except for a 20th-century widened window on the ground floor to the left. The front and rear ranges feature late 19th-century four-pane horned sash windows. The left-hand return of the front has a blind second-floor window and a horned copy twelve-pane sash on the ground floor. Inside, there is an original dog-leg staircase with an open string and a handrail that is scrolled over the newel, along with stick balusters. This hotel is one of the first buildings constructed in this china clay and fishing port.
