6, Bayards Cove

6 Bayards Cove is a house, now divided into flats, that was formerly known as Bayard's Cove Mission. It likely dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of plastered stone rubble, possibly with brick dressings, and features right end stacks with brick chimney shafts and old pots, topped by a slate roof.

The house is three storeys high with an attic and has a two-window front. The plasterwork is lightly blocked out to resemble ashlar stone. It has horned 12-pane sash windows set under low segmental arches. The taller first-floor windows are adorned with an original cast-iron balcony decorated with rosettes and anthemia. To the left, there is a round-headed doorway with a timber surround, panelled pilasters, and a flat hood supported by console brackets. The entrance features panelled reveals leading to a recessed six-panel door topped by a fanlight with an elegant pattern of radial glazing bars. The timber eaves cornice includes a peardrop frieze, and the hipped roof has a front gabled dormer. The rear of the building was altered in the 20th century to provide separate access to the flats.

The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. This house served as the Seamens' Mission in the late 19th century and is part of a notable group of listed buildings on the old quay.
