Description
The Custom House is a small, simple building primarily from the 18th century, though it features some earlier stonework. Granite steps lead up to the main first floor, which includes one large corner window and one 19th-century double-hung sash window. The building has a slate roof and brick chimneys. The Custom House, along with Nos 2 and 4 and Dolphs Cottage, forms a cohesive group.
