Description



LYNTON AND LYNMOUTH

SS7149 WATERSMEET ROAD, Lynmouth
858-1/4/90 (West side)
03/09/73 No.10
Bonnicott

GV II

Hotel. Early to mid C19 with C20 alterations. Rendered,
fish-tail slate roof. Main range symmetrical with central
gable of 3 stepped forward, entrance to the left and rear
lateral staircase; 2 further gabled units set back to left,
and large glazed conservatories with hipped roofs to front. At
the rear is a parallel range with central valley gutter. The
whole is set high above the road, cut into the rock-face at
the rear, and with the N end gable wall curved to follow the
line of Summerhouse Path which climbs past at this point.
2 storeys; 1+1+3 windows, all 2-light wood casements with
mullion and transom, some late C20 replacement. The extensions
with late C20 replacement glazing. To the left of the main
range, on the set-back wing, a gabled porch with solid cheeks
over a 4-vertical-panel door in a 4-centred head. All gables
have decorative barge-boards with finials and drops, and there
is a small stack to each gable-end of the main block.
INTERIOR: the deep entrance lobby has an inner door with
margin-panes and tinted glass, and this opens to an inner hall
with the lateral stair with fine stick balustrade and swept
handrail; there is a large 12-pane sash stair light. Many
original 6-panel doors remain. Despite some substantial
external modifications, this building still retains interior
detail of architectural interest.
The owners give a date of 1820 from the deeds. Like others in
this road, it probably originated as a hotel.
