Description

59, 60 and 61 The Quay are three cottages built in a single range, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with probable alterations from the late 19th century. They are constructed of rubble with a plinth made of large blocks of stone, mostly whitewashed, and feature a gable-ended slate roof in two sections with clay ridge tiles. There are three brick chimney stacks: two on the ridge and one off the ridge to the left.

The cottages are arranged in a single row, each with a single room depth. Each cottage has a large fish cellar on the ground floor, two rooms on the first floor, and two in the attic. Number 59 has a gable end entry to its ground floor fish cellar, while the main entry to each cottage is at first floor level at the rear, accessed through three doorways. Number 59 has a gable end stack, Number 60 features a rear lateral stack, and Number 61 has a gable end stack.

The exterior is two storeys and an attic, positioned directly on the sloping pebble beach of the harbour, with the first floor elevated on a high plinth. The front facade has a 2:2:2 window arrangement, featuring late 19th century or early 20th century casements, all with two lights and small panes with glazing bars. There is a late 20th century three-light casement window to the right of the ground floor. The attic includes four raking dormers with two-light casements and two late 20th century shaped dormers, also with two-light casements. A late 20th century projecting wooden balcony is located at the centre of the first floor, along with a half-glazed door.

Inside, Number 59 retains much early 18th century joinery, including doors, partitioning, and mantle surrounds. Number 61 features a fireplace with a 19th century chimneypiece. The roof structure consists of pegged collar-beam trusses from the 18th century.
