Beach Cottage

Beach Cottage, also known as Beach Lodge, is a single-storey and attic gabled cottage dating from before 1848. It is located at Larbrax Bay and was originally used for recreational purposes by the Lochnaw Estate. The building is constructed of pinned rubble with painted ashlar chamfered margins and mullions. The windows have narrow lights and overhanging eaves.

The West elevation has three bays, with a gabled bay advanced centrally. A modern door is located on the South return, and a tripartite window is set within an ashlar coped advanced panel at ground floor, with a bipartite window in the gablehead above. Bipartite windows are located in the outer bays. The South elevation mirrors this design, with a tripartite window in an ashlar coped advanced panel at ground floor and a bipartite window in the gablehead. The North elevation features a bipartite window at both ground floor and gablehead. The East elevation has a small modern porch adjoined to the right, leading to a passage that links the cottage to a small, lower gabled wing to the Northeast – formerly servants’ quarters.

The windows have very small glazing panes: 12-pane glazing to each light in sash and case windows at ground floor and 6-pane glazing in casement windows to the attic. Ashlar corniced rubble stacks flank the centre of the ridge, and the roof is covered in purple slates.

The wing to the Northeast has a door and a two-light window to the South and a two-light window to the West. A gablehead stack is located on the East side. The garden to the West is enclosed by a rubble coped rubble wall. The building appears on Ordnance Survey maps of 1847-48 and 1906-07, both identifying it as "Bathing Cottage".
