Description
The Old Lifeboat House, now a museum, is a mid to late 19th century building that has been altered. It features cobble walls with a sandstone plinth and red brick dressings, including flush strips, topped with a slate roof. The structure has a rectangular plan aligned with the slipway.
This single-storey building has three-bay sides and a tall, steeply-pitched roof. Each side is supported by buttressed corners and has three one-light wooden-louvred windows with stone sills and lintels, and chamfered brick jambs. The central section is framed by brick strips and includes added benches sheltered by a roof supported by cast-iron columns. Above the centre of each side is a steeply-pitched gabled dormer featuring a window similar to the others, topped with a finial. The roof's centre has a wooden lantern with a steep slated pyramidal cap, which is surmounted by a weathervane. The south gable wall includes a large doorway with folding double doors, a one-light window above, and projected verges with an apex finial.
The building forms a group with the nearby windmill, which stands close to the north end.
