The Coastguards Cottages

The Coastguards' Cottages is a terrace of coastguards' cottages, now used as holiday cottages, dating from the late 19th century. The building is constructed of granite rubble, featuring dressed granite quoins, doorsteps, sills, jambstones, and voussoirs over shallow arches. It has a hipped Delabole slate roof laid in diminishing courses, with axial chimneys over the main range and axial rendered brick chimneys. The eaves slightly project, with gutters supported by iron brackets.

The cottages have a rectangular double depth plan and are either one room or two rooms wide. The left-hand cottage has a two-storey gable-ended section with a one-room plan and an entrance set back from the main front wall. The second cottage is larger, with a central doorway and a room on either side. There are two pairs of cottages, each one room wide with paired entrances in the middle, and an additional one-room wide cottage with an entrance at the right-hand end, featuring a dormered hoist doorway above. The terrace has two storeys and an overall nine-window front, likely with original six-pane horned sashes and ledged doors, all within original openings that are spanned by shallow segmental arches. The interiors have not been inspected.
