Description
A terrace of single-storey coastguard cottages dating to the nineteenth century, situated on the shores of Belfast Lough in Groomsport. The cottages have undergone extensive alterations, including the exposure of rubble stone walls, replacement windows, and new chimneystacks. Large extensions have also been added to the front. These alterations have compromised the original character of the cottages, and they are not considered to be of special interest. A partial survey only was undertaken.
