Description

The Harbour View Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel, dating from the early to mid-19th century. It features solid rendered walls and a slated roof, with rendered chimneys on both the left and right gable ends. The building stands three storeys high with an additional garret and is two windows wide.

The doorway, located between the ground-storey windows, is adorned with a moulded cornice supported by consoles. The windows are barred sashes, with only one horizontal glazing bar in the ground and second storeys, while the third storey has windows arranged as six over six panes. The ground storey is enhanced by rusticated pilaster strips at each end, and above these, panelled pilasters rise from a sill band in the second storey to the eaves, featuring round-headed panels.

On the left side wall, which faces Bay View Steps, the pilaster strip and panelled pilaster are mirrored at the right-hand corner, adjacent to those on the front. The right side wall also has a similar feature, with the top of a panelled pilaster visible above the roof of the neighbouring house. The front elevation is completed with a deep flat eaves cornice, and there are two large gabled dormers that contain six-panel windows.
