Description
A terrace of former coastguard cottages dating to circa 1820. The cottages have plastered walls and a hipped slate roof, with plastered stacks along the ridge. The building is two storeys high, with an extension to the north featuring a gabled roof. Lean-to extensions at the rear have slate roofs. Three projecting, flat-roofed porches face the front. The original entrances have flush-panelled doors. The ground and first floors each contain six horizontally sliding sash windows with glazing bars. A cast iron pump located in front of the terrace is likely contemporary with the cottages.
