Description
Polqueens is a house built in 1887, constructed from slate stone rubble with brick dressings and featuring a slate roof with hipped ends. It has a brick axial stack and is situated on the side of a steeply sloping bank, resulting in a single-storey elevation facing the road and a two-storey elevation on the lower side, which has a deep battered base. The design effectively accommodates the challenging site and offers exceptional views. The entrance, located in the side wall, likely leads directly into a stair hall, with a reception room on the lower side to the right and service areas against the bank to the left.
The house has a two-storey, two-window front elevation on the lower side, with a battered base and brick segmental arches above the openings. It features two 24-pane sash windows on the ground floor and two 20-pane sash windows on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
Polqueens is part of a group of similar houses that overlook a steep-sided combe leading down to Boscastle Harbour, alongside other houses such as Valley View, Lewarne, Meachard, Glenfinart, Penrowan, and Belmont.
