Description
Geanies Point is a hexagonal single-storey summer house built around 1800. The exterior is harled with ashlar margins. On the landward side, there is an entrance featuring double panelled doors, topped by a large re-used marriage stone lintel dated 1760. The seaward side has three windows that are fitted for external shutters, with hooks still in place, and the windows have 12-pane glazing. A small margined wallhead stack is present, and the roof is pyramidal, covered with slate, and topped with a ball finial and weathervane. Short rubble quadrants flank the central seaward bay, which also has ashlar copes. Inside, the summer house has a simple plastered interior that includes a moulded fireplace with a panelled overmantel and stone slab floors.
