Description
Pinhay is a large house set in landscaped grounds with views of the sea, built around 1840 in the Italianate style, with later additions from around 1890. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a low pitched slate roof. It has a moulded stone eaves cornice and a panelled frieze and band at the first floor level. The house is two storeys tall and has a south front that faces a terrace and the sea, comprising five bays.
To the left of the centre, there is a low three-storey tower with a bracketed eaves cornice, a three-light round-headed window, and a stone balcony on brackets above a large ground floor splayed bay. Adjacent to this is a loggia featuring an elliptical arch flanked by small round arches on composite columns, with a recessed balcony above that has a segmental vaulted ceiling. The three bays on the right, two of which project, are believed to be a late 19th-century addition.
The west elevation consists of four bays and includes a pediment to the right over a round-headed window with a fluted tympanum, along with a large splayed bay window below. The north entrance front has a large square porch with pilasters and a round-headed doorway.
