Description
The building is a coastguard house, dated around 1830, located in Morston on the north side of The Street. It is constructed of gault brick with a roof made of black-glazed pantiles. The house is two stories high and has three bays. There are two sash windows on the ground floor and three sash windows on the first floor, all featuring glazing bars and flat rubbed brick arches. The entrance has a 20th-century neo-Georgian door with false louvred shutters. The central bay of the house is slightly projected forward and is topped with a dentil cornice at the eaves, while the central bay is expressed as a parapet. The roof is hipped with two stacks on the return ridge and two additional stacks at the rear. There is a right out-shut wing that includes a door and one casement window, and the left wing is made of red brick.
In front of the house, there is a walled garden featuring a gault brick plinth with pebbled flint brick piers, quoins, and coping. The entrance sweeps towards the house with piers, and the returns are made of red brick.
