Description
The Coffee Pot Cafe is a house that has been converted into a cafe, dating from the early to mid 19th century. It features painted roughcast walls with painted stone dressings and a slate roof. The building has a symmetrical design with two storeys plus an attic and three bays, incorporating some Greek Revival style elements.
The windows are glazing bar sashes set in lugged architraves, except for the left-hand ground floor window, which has been widened to accommodate a single sheet of glass with a narrow painted surround. The central bay extends into the attic under a gabled roof that rises above the main roof ridge. The attic window is tall and narrow, featuring a round head and a keystone. The verge of the roof projects and is adorned with plain bargeboards and a finial.
Above the outer bays, there is a stone cornice gutter supported by brackets. The entrance has a stone doorcase with engaged columns topped by palm-leaf capitals. The frieze is decorated with roundels, and the pediment features a central laurel wreath along with antefixae.
