Description
Harbour Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is timber-framed and features painted, moulded edged shiplap boarding, along with a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate and trimmed with lead. The building stands three storeys tall. The windows are arranged irregularly but generally form vertical bands. They are double-hung sashes with small panes and moulded surrounds. On the southwest elevation, the upper floor has two square-headed double-hung sash windows and two semicircular-headed double-hung sash windows, the latter featuring margin glazing bars.
