Description
The Island Shop, built around the 1820s, was originally a bird and fish museum with stables located behind it. It is now used as a shop and public conveniences. The building features stuccoed walls and a dry Delabole slate roof with gable ends and a brick chimney over the rear gable end. The layout includes the shop, which was formerly the museum, at the front and a one-room-plan former museum keeper's cottage behind. Attached to the rear gable end is a single-storey, two-bay range of stables that faces into the courtyard on the left, along with a high mounting block against the right-hand wall. Beyond this is a two-storey range, which has been reduced in height and is now used as public conveniences.
The exterior of the building is two storeys high, with a west-facing gable end that features a large segmental-arched doorway on the ground floor and a large round-arched window opening above. The entrance has double top-glazed doors, and there are casement windows with glazing bars. The window above the doorway includes a fanlight over a transom, while the windows in the right side wall have four-centred arched heads. The interior has not been inspected.
