Gainsford House

Gainsford House is a building from the late 19th century, constructed by the local David family. It later became a hotel and then a chemist in the early 20th century. The building features a Victorian Gothic style, possibly influenced by the architect J. P. Seddon. It is two stories high with a five-window facade made of bull-nosed rubble, which is said to be Cornish stone, and has freestone window dressings. The structure includes rusticated quoins and a plinth, a slate roof, and chimney stacks made of brick and rubble, along with bracket eaves.

The windows are tripartite horned sash types with depressed arched heads, and the first floor has brick-banded voussoir lintels. The ground floor features steeper pointed arched heads on the right, with rubble voussoirs, and a similar design is used for the central six-panel door entrance. To the left, there is a shop front with paired semi-circular headed lights flanking a pointed arched half-glazed entrance.
