Originally built as a boatyard and quayside in the 1800s, Ferryside is notable as the Cornish holiday home of Daphne Du Maurier. Dame Du Maurier wrote her first novel, The Loving Spirit, after researching the wreck of the schooner JANE SLADE. Its owner gave her the figurehead which she had installed underneath her bedroom window and a replica now resides in the same location. - AsNotedIn
Principally built of local rubble stone with oak floor and roof structures. The rear incorporates the killas rock cliff face against which the building is constructed. The first floor of the north end is of brick and there are two brick ridge stacks. The roofs are covered in North American slate (from Vermont) and the upper storey of the southern half of the building is slate hung/ weatherboarded. At the perimeter of the front garden is the rubble stone quay wall which is built on the river edge and curves the corner alongside the ferry slipway. It also incorporated a smaller slipway (possible at one time a sawpit) which was used by the shipyard in the C19. - Historic England
