Description
Bod Of Nesbister is a single storey and loft, three-bay former fishing booth built in 1844. The building features random rubble walls with stugged sandstone dressings. On the east elevation, there are two vertically-boarded timber doors with boarded shutters, and a small window located in the bay to the left. A rubble forestair on the north gable provides access to a boarded timber door leading into the gablehead. The east and south elevations are blank.
The window has a plate glass fixed light, and the roof is covered with felt tiles and concrete skew-copes, featuring Velux rooflights and a single-flue gablehead stack on the south side.
Stone slab steps, roughly hewn, rise from the beach to the entrance door and to the rear of the forestair.
