Coastguard Cottages

Coastguard Cottages is a terrace of coastguard cottages built in the mid-19th century, with some additions from the late 19th to early 20th century. The cottages are constructed of yellow brick and feature slate-hung fronts and a slate roof. The building is two stories high and consists of four two-bay cottages, with an L-shaped cottage at one end that has its top facing forward and is attached to the other cottages, while the bottom section protrudes. At the opposite end, there is a slightly taller and projecting cottage. Each original cottage has a central plank door beneath a fanlight, set within a timber-sided, gable-roofed weather-porch. On both floors, each cottage has two-light casement windows. The right-hand added L-shaped cottage has similar casements in the bay attached to the end of the others and in its projecting bay. The left-hand end cottage also has similar windows and features a hipped roof at the front. The main roof is hipped to the right-hand side. There are chimney stacks located between the original cottages, at their left-hand end, and over the attached bay of the right-hand addition.
