Description
The property is a former fisherman's cottage, likely dating from the 18th century, constructed of coursed random rubble sandstone with a brick L-shaped range to the north and tiled roofs. The main building is rectangular, with the north range extending from the north gable.
The cottage is two storeys high with three bays, featuring a steeply pitched roof, end stacks, and overhanging eaves. The west elevation contains an original entrance with a boarded door in the centre bay, flanked by a pair of windows to the north and three windows to the south. All windows have timber lintels, stone sills, and replacement multi-pane timber casement frames. Three full roof dormer windows are present. The L-shaped range attached to the north gable has pitched and lean-to roofs and end chimneys, with several door and window openings, many of which appear to be 20th-century insertions. A single-storey lean-to extends from the south gable of the cottage.
Inside, the original central entrance on the west elevation leads to a small vestibule, with rooms to the left and right. These rooms both feature ceiling beams running east to west and wainscoting to the west wall. The room to the left has a brick chimney breast to the north wall, while the room to the right has a brick chimney breast to the south wall, which retains a cast iron range. A third room, accessed to the right of the latter, has ceiling beams, wainscoting throughout, and a chimney breast on the south wall fitted with a later 19th-century cast iron chimney piece and grate. Adjacent to this room is an original timber cupboard. The ground floor features plank and batten doors. The staircase and detailing of the three first-floor bedrooms are of a later 20th-century date. The brick L-shaped extension to the north retains a brick firebreast with a cast-iron range on the south wall, a small cast-iron chimney piece in the northeast corner, and the original water pump.
South of the cottage is a small building believed to be a former stable, constructed of rubble sandstone with a tiled pitched roof. It features a cobbled floor, remnants of a flue, and a pair of stalls against its south wall; the north wall has largely been rebuilt in brick. A hexagonal Second World War pill box is situated at the foot of the cliff below the cottage.
