Nos 34 And 36 Including Garden Wall In Front Of No 34

Nos 34 and 36, including the garden wall in front of No 34, are a pair of cottages located in Hayle, dating from the mid 19th century, with a shop dated 1891 adjacent to them. The cottages are constructed of rubble with granite dressings and feature a grouted scantle slate roof with projecting eaves at the front and brick chimneys on the party walls. The shopfront is made of dressed granite.

The cottages are designed as a pair of double depth structures, each with one room at the front and central entrance passages. The left-hand cottage (No 36) has a single-storey shop in front, which is aligned with the cottages. The shop has a classical style front.

The exterior consists of two-storey cottages and a single-storey shop. The cottages originally had a symmetrical design with four windows on the north front and a pair of doorways closely positioned in the middle. The right-hand cottage retains its original four-panel door with an overlight. The windows are late 19th-century horned sashes set in original openings with granite lintels.

The shopfront features a two-to-one bay design with a three-bay arcade of round keyed arches supported by slender round shafts, flanked by corner pilasters. This is topped with an entablature that has a moulded cornice, a parapet with a shaped pediment, and a round date plaque above the central bay. The other bays have balustrades with turned balusters and ball finials on the terminal pilasters. The shop has a doorway on the right and a pair of windows on the left, with original three-panel doors featuring glazed upper sections. The windows have plate glass on the lower part and small panes above a transom, with patterned coloured leaded glazing depicting painted farming scenes in the principal panes.

The interior has not been inspected. In front of the cottage is a granite coped rubble wall, along with a granite kerb along the pavement in front of the shop.
