The Bathing House

The Bathing House is a building dating from around 1840, originally a conversion of an older cottage for the Grey family. It features a rubble ground floor with squared stone above, and the dressings are tooled and margined, although some parts are cemented over. The roof is made of Welsh slate, except for the synthetic blue slates on the northern pent part, and it has terracotta chimney pots.

The building is 1 + 2 storeys high and consists of 3 bays. The centre bay has a boarded door located in a gabled porch with a shouldered arch to the left. There is a 3-light mullioned window with 3-pane casements and a blocked 2-light window above it. The eaves are deep and supported by cast-iron brackets. The gables are coped and feature elaborate moulded kneelers with pyramid finials, while the end stacks have tall paired moulded terracotta pots, although one at the right end is missing.

On the left end, there is a single-storey pent-roofed bay with a 4-pane casement and a small arched light. The right bay is also single-storey and has a blocked chamfered slit. The right return of the building shows a 4-pane sash window, which is in the former location of a 2-light mullioned window, with a gable slit above it. The front facing the sea has a wide 20th-century ground-floor window below a large tripartite sash window with a boarded apron.

The stonework, particularly the dressings, has suffered significant erosion due to wind. The building is included on the heritage register for its historical interest and landscape value.
