EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay east front; windows have cambered brick arches and slate cills, C20 replacement frames; blocked central doorway with semi-circular brick arch; large plastered roundel above with moulded architrave, and without inscription. Outshut on left [S] return; C20 porch on right [N] side with round arch inner doorway with C19 panelled door. Rear [W], wide ground floor window and first floor window to right with cambered brick arches, window to left on first floor with lintel.

The quay is built of vertically bedded slate, the west end of large dressed granite blocks; over the east end there is a stone garden area wall in front of and to the side of the house.
NOTE: The house was probably built in association with navigation on the Truro River and the port of Truro.
