Sea Breaze Cafe

Sea Breaze Cafe is a house and restaurant that was originally a pair of cottages, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It was extended in the late 18th or early 19th century and again in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of roughcast stone rubble and features a thatched roof with hipped ends, along with a rendered axial stack topped with yellow clay louvred pots.

The original layout consisted of a two-room plan, which has since been converted into one large room. The central entrance leads into this space, with the right-hand room originally heated by a gable end stack that includes an oven, while the left-hand room was likely unheated. In the late 18th or early 19th century, a large one-room extension was added at the east end, facing the sea, which is heated by an axial stack that backs onto the original cottage's gable end stack. A wing was added at right angles to the left-hand west end in the late 19th century, likely as a separate cottage, and its roof was raised in the 20th century. Additionally, a single-storey outshut was constructed at the rear of the original cottage in the 20th century.

The exterior features two storeys and has a long asymmetrical five-window north front, with 19th and 20th century two-light casements that include glazing bars, as well as two horizontally sliding sash windows. The doorway, located to the left of the centre, has a 20th century glazed door. The gable end of the late 19th century wing is on the left, while the right-hand end has higher eaves. The right-hand east return, which faces the sea, has a symmetrical two-window front with 19th century two-light horizontally sliding sashes on the ground floor and 20th century two-light casements on the first floor, all featuring boarded shutters. The rear (north) side has some horizontally sliding sashes and a small 19th century fixed light window in the west wall of the east extension.

Inside, the original cottage has a large stone rubble fireplace with a reused timber lintel, and the removal of partitions has exposed later joists. The right-hand east extension also contains a large fireplace with an unchamfered timber lintel. The roof over the original cottage has the feet of straight principal rafters visible in the first floor rooms.
