Description
The Fishhouse at The Store in Sandsound, Tresta, is an 18th-century complex located on a steeply sloping waterfront site. It includes a two-storey, three-bay symmetrical former trader's house, a single-storey, three-bay symmetrical cottage attached to the north gable, and a single-storey, three-bay modern fishhouse to the north, along with piers and slipways.
The principal building features harled walls. The west elevation shows the trader's house on the right, with a lean-to glazed timber porch in the center bay, which has a harled base, multi-pane windows, and a vertically-boarded timber door to the north, with fish-scale slate-hung sides. There is a narrow four-pane timber window centered on the first floor, and 12 and 6-pane windows in the flanking bays at both the ground and first floors. To the left, the cottage has a lined concrete porch with plate glass windows in the flanking bays.
On the east elevation, the rear of the trader's house has a single vertically-boarded timber door centered on the left, while a small window is centered on the cottage's elevation to the right. The windows throughout are timber sash and case. The roofs are covered with purple-grey slate and feature concrete skew copes, with harled apex stacks and circular cans on each gable.
The sea wall, pier, and slipways include a low rubble sea wall along the west side of the southern pier (adjacent to the trader's house and cottage), with a slipway to the north. The sea wall continues north to the northern pier, where the fishhouse is located, featuring a ramp and timber derrick to the south and an additional slipway to the north.
The fishhouse itself has vertically-boarded timber sides over a rubble base, with a wide glazed door centered on the southern gable and a two-pane fixed-light in the gablehead, along with six-pane fixed-lights in the west elevation.
