partly tile hung. Slate roof with hipped ends. Brick axial stacks.
Built into side of a steeply sloping bank almost sheer with single storey elevation

well designed to accommodate the awkward site and to take advantage of the

with a second larger reception room with an octagonal corner turret overlooking the
harbour.
2 storeys: 1:2:2 window front with segmental brick arches to openings. 2 storey bay
projection on front and terracotta octagonal corner turret on right. Circa early C20
2 storey porch to left, the tile hung second storey supported on two timber columns.
Interior partly remodelled in C20 with chimney-pieces rebuilt.
Forms part of a group of similar houses overlooking a steep-sided combe leading down
to Boscastle Harbour; the other houses are Lewarne, Meachard, Glenfinart, Penrowan,
Belmont and Polqueens (qv).
