SS7149 MARS HILL, Lynmouth 858-1/4/79 (West side) 19/07/50 Nos.3 AND 4 Rising Sun Hotel (part) (Formerly Listed as: LYNTON MARS HILL Nos.3 AND 4 Harbour View)

GV II

House in row, formerly two, now part of Rising Sun Hotel (qv). Probably C17 in origin but heightened and altered in C19. Rendered, concrete tile roof. 2 storeys and attic; 3-window range, all 2-light casements with a horizontal bar, and to slate cills. The ground floor has a C20 door between the first 2 windows, and a further window to the right, possibly a former door. The right gable, partly above the adjoining property, has a small 2-light casement, and a cropped stack. The rear has a door under a gabled dormer roof at first floor, opening to the garden level. INTERIOR, partly inspected, revealed no items of special interest. The property is one of a series stepped up the steep slope of the hill. The small windows suggest early provenance, and a former steep roof with thatch seems to have been replaced with a later structure giving extra height to the attic space, and a large plain wall above the first-floor windows; a line in the wall plane is discernible at the previous eaves level.
