Former Fishermen's Rooms

The Former Fishermen's Rooms is a three-storey building dating from the 20th century, designed in an L-plan layout. It features painted roughcast walls and slate close-eaved roofs, with small black brick chimneys added in the 20th century. The northern front faces the harbour and has a crosswing on the left, which includes a coped shouldered gable and a stack on the left side wall. This elevation has a tiny attic light, a long second-floor window, and a shorter first-floor window. Below, there is a wide boatstore entry with a sliding door, while the right side wall has narrow windows on the ground and first floors.

The main range of the building has, on the extreme left, a tall cambered-headed narrow opening that leads to a stairway for No 3, with a narrow second-floor window above it. The other three bays contain three large square second-floor windows and two narrower windows on the ground and first floors, which are slightly set out from the outer windows of the top three. The ground floor features a square-headed door and a small arched window aligned with the middle of the three upper windows. The right end gable is also roughcast and has 12-pane horned sash windows on each upper floor, along with a small 20th-century stack.

The southern elevation, which slopes towards Penniless Cove Hill, is made of rubble stone and is single-storey. It has two gabled entries that break the eaves. The entrance to No 1 is located in the gable-end of the crosswing on the right, featuring a coped shouldered gable over an offset pointed doorway with a three-pane overlight and double two-panel doors. This entrance has red brick jambs and a pointed head made of red brick, with a Bath stone keystone and springing stones. A raised brick panel sits on two corbels in the gable, though its purpose is uncertain. The entrance to No 2 is positioned to the left of center in the main range and includes a 20th-century door and a 16-pane sash window, both set under a pair of similar brick and ashlar pointed arches, with a date stone reading 1874 above and a coped gable. The entrance features red brick jambs, a brick under the window sill, and cemented tympana to the arches.
