Description
Point Quay House and Regatta Cottage are a house with associated tramsheds, dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of painted stucco with a slurried scantle slate roof, gabled to the south and to a wing, and has two axial brick chimneys. The original plan comprised a three-room house with workshops, a former tramshed, and a further workshop to the north, with a projecting wing to the rear (west).
The east front features a lean-to porch to the left, original twelve-pane sash windows, and two larger windows with six-pane fixed lights grouped closely together. To the right of the house is the workshop, featuring a wide doorway with a pair of ledged doors and a small overlight, and a narrower doorway with a ledged door and a six-pane overlight. The west front displays a doorway to the left, a six-pane window, and a doorway to the right, all within the gable end of the wing. A small window sits to the left of the lean-to entrance porch, and two original twelve-pane sashes are to the right. The right-hand (north) wall of the workshop has two windows with glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected.
The building is historically linked to the Redruth and Chasewater Railway (1824-1915), which transported mineral ore to the port of Devoran from the surrounding mines. The railway operated with horse-drawn transport until 1854, when steam locomotives were introduced.
