Description
Cataclews Fish Cellars are a complex of early 19th-century fish cellars that have been converted into a house. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with some areas covered in slate hung with rag slates. The end stacks and two rear lateral stacks are clad in slate stone, added in the late 20th century.
The layout is based on a courtyard, with a front range of single-depth plan. Originally, there was a wide opening in the centre of the front, leading through to the inner courtyard. Two wings extend to the rear, both open-fronted to the courtyard, which is enclosed by a stone rubble wall on its rear side. The building was converted into a house around the mid-20th century.
The exterior is two storeys and has a regular five-window front, with a wide blocked opening in the centre. Two 20th-century windows are positioned centrally, and the lintel above is inscribed with the Latin phrase "LUCRI DULCIS ODOR" (profit smells sweet). There are three-light 20th-century casement windows to the right and left of the entrance, and five 20th-century windows on the first floor. External steps lead up to a loft on the right-hand end.
Internally, the courtyard to the rear has been resurfaced and the original drainage channels have been filled in.
