LYNTON AND LYNMOUTH
SS7149 MARS HILL, Lynmouth 858-1/4/78 (West side) 19/07/50 No.2 Rising Sun Hotel (part) (Formerly Listed as: LYNTON MARS HILL No.2 The Old Cottage)
GV II
House at end of row. Mid to late C18. Rendered, slate-hung left gable, concrete tile roof. 3 storeys; 3-window range, all 2-light wood casements with a horizontal bar, but at ground floor with small panes. Central C20 door in a 'rustic' gabled porch. The rusticated quoins referred to in the previous list have been removed. The left gable has 2 openings to a balcony above a C20 extension. Both gable stacks have been cropped to ridge level. The right gable, standing well above the adjoining No.3 (qv) because of the slope in the site, has a small 2-light casement at second-floor level. INTERIOR, partly inspected, revealed nothing of special interest. Formerly a separate house, this now (1993) forms part of the Rising Sun Hotel (qv), and is a prominent part of the street scene.
