Rubble to ground floor, slate hanging on stud work to upper floors; grouted scantle slate roofs; brick axial stack towards rear of roof on left. L-shaped plan. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; inner front of right-hand wing is a 3-window range with original 12-pane hornless sashes to 2nd floor, otherwise C20 casements with glazing bars. Inner left-hand return has a shallow partly weatherboarded 2-storey lean-to. Outer elevation of left-hand wing is a 4-window range with windows to upper floors only, all original 12-pane hornless sashes. INTERIOR retains the original beam sockets for a pilchard-pressing floor. Included as a substantially complete example of an early C19 house with a slate-hung front, and as a rare surviving example of a structure of this type associated with the formerly prosperous pilchard fishing industry.
