Description
Centre House is a coastguard station officer's house built in 1845 by the Customs. The building is finished in stucco and features a slate hipped roof with console brackets at the eaves, along with rendered stacks over the side walls.
The house has a double-depth plan with a central entrance porch and single-storey outhouses on either side. It stands two storeys tall with a symmetrical three-bay south front. The windows on the front include 16-pane sashes, while the centre first-floor window has 12 panes. The ground floor windows have been replaced with casements. The central doorway is framed by a rendered porch that has a moulded pedimental gable and a moulded arris to the cambered arch, leading to a glazed door and a panelled inner door. The flanking single-storey wings have blocked doorways at the front, and there are sash windows with glazing bars at the rear on the north side. A later 19th-century brick porch is located on the east side. The interior has not been inspected.
