stair hall with reception room on lower side (right) and service room against bank on
the left.
Two storeys. Front elevation on lower side with battered base and brick segmental
arches to openings. Two storey canted bay projection on front with 24-pane sashes on
ground floor and 20-pane sashes on first.

to Boscastle Harbour; the other houses are Valley View, Lewarne, Meachard,
Glenfinart, Penrowan and Polqueens (qv).
