Description
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.
