Former Wash House To The Coastguard Cottages

The former wash house to the Coastguard Cottages was built in 1882 in Gothic style. It is constructed of yellow brick with red brick lintels, stone dressings, and a slate roof that features a large central yellow brick chimneystack with stone coping. The building is one storey high and has four windows. It is oriented gable end to the street, showcasing stone coping and kneelers, louvred lunettes, and flat-arched doorcases with plank doors. The sides of the building have two single and two paired pointed-headed sash windows with horns, but no glazing bars.

This wash house is an architecturally impressive and externally unaltered example of a late 19th-century structure. It is part of a group of buildings at a coastguard station that also includes coastguard cottages, a former officers' house, and a former boathouse.
