Description
The Sail Loft is a 2-storey building constructed from rubble stone, featuring larger quoins and dressings, with some parts rendered. The roof is slate and hipped to the left, including a skylight, and has a roughcast chimney stack on the right. On the lower storey, there are wide boarded doors in the center, flanked by a 16-pane sash window on the left, a shuttered window on the right, and a boarded door at the right end where the ground level is slightly elevated. In the upper storey, there is a boarded loading door offset to the left of center, situated under a projecting gable that once had a pulley. There are shuttered openings on both the right and left sides. The rear of the building has two replacement windows, a central boarded door, and an overlight. The building has not been inspected.
