Description
The Waterfront Restaurant is a late 18th-century town house that has been adapted for use as a shop. It features a stucco exterior on a rubble base with rusticated quoins and a steep hipped roof covered in asbestos slate, complete with a modillion eaves cornice. The building has a single-depth plan and shares its layout with the adjacent "Food For Thought," which has a late medieval range. The two buildings are connected by a pair of wings of uncertain date.
The exterior is three storeys high and was originally designed with a symmetrical three-window front. However, during the early to mid-19th century, shop windows were added, enlarging the ground-floor openings. The upper floors retain original or early 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash windows, although the left-hand windows are blind with sashes painted on. The left-hand return also has original sashes on the upper floors.
The ground floor features a central Ionic doorway flanked by fluted pilasters with volutes, topped with a moulded entablature and a three-pane overlight above an original panelled door that has fielded panels. The top panels of the former six-panel door have been modified into one glazed panel. To the left, there is a corner shop with a pilastered doorway at the splayed corner, which includes three lights to the left and two lights to the right, along with a two-light shop window at the far right of the front. Above the shop windows, there is a moulded entablature. The interior has not been inspected.
