Outbuildings, Adjoining Garden Wall And Gateway At Withernsea Lighthouse

The outbuildings, garden wall, and gateway at Withernsea Lighthouse were built between 1892 and 1893, likely designed by Sir James Douglass or Thomas Matthews for Trinity House. The outbuildings are constructed from stuccoed brick that is incised to imitate ashlar and are whitewashed, topped with Welsh slate roofs. The garden wall is made of red brick and features painted ashlar dressings on the piers.

There are three single-storey outbuildings:

1) The first is a two-bay storehouse located at the south end of the garden, which has a pair of recessed four-pane windows with sills on the north front, a two-fold recessed board door with an overlight on the west side, a moulded cornice, and a single-pitch roof with raised stone-coped verges and ornate shaped kneelers.

2) The second is a single-bay outhouse on the east side of the garden, featuring a board door and a 20th-century casement window in the original opening with a sill on the west front, a similar cornice, and a single-pitch roof with coped verges and shaped kneelers.

3) The third is a three-bay relief lighthouse keepers' flat on the west side of the garden, which has twelve-pane casements on the north front, a board door at the rear, a cornice, and a pitched roof with coped gables and shaped kneelers, along with a stack at the rear.

The garden wall is coped and ramps up to the outbuildings. There is a central north gateway leading to the street, featuring square-section coped piers, a wooden gate, and flanking walls with smaller similar piers leading to a recessed entrance on the right. This structure is included for its group value.
