Overall L-shaped plan. Probably originally a two room plan with central passage and stair. At the, rear of the stair is a 2 storey projection with original barred look out window to 1st floor, probably added circa 1780 when the house was adapted for use as a customs house. In the C19 a sail loft was built at right angles in front of the right hand side of the house and the sail loft was converted into 2 cottages and the left hand room of the original house was divided by an axial partition. 2 storeys.

Interior of house (Golden Gear) has C18 straight flight stair and 2-panel door under; otherwise C19 features but the floor and roof structures are probably C18. Sited in an unspoiled stretch of the Helford River.
