Strumble Head Lighthouse with associated buildings and boundary wall

The site includes a group of interconnected buildings – keepers' accommodation, a lighthouse, and an engine room – enclosed within a small walled area. The compound wall is constructed of roughly coursed rubble and has a whitewashed external face, featuring ashlar gate piers topped with pyramidal copings at the main entrance.

To the northwest, the walls enclose a small circular area which previously contained a flagstaff. The keepers' accommodation building has a flat roof and a lined-out render finish. It is single-storied, symmetrically arranged with projecting outer bays and a central projecting porch. A doorway is located on the side of the porch, flanked by a single wood mullioned and transomed window of two lights on either side. Similar windows are found in the projecting outer bays. The return elevation to the left incorporates a separate entrance to the engineers' accommodation, with a central entrance flanked by two-light windows. Throughout the building, there is a stepped cornice and a raised blocking course; an axial chimney is positioned toward the left-hand rear. A short corridor with a central doorway and flanking windows connects the accommodation to the lighthouse tower at the rear.

The lighthouse is 16.8 metres in height, circular in plan, and slightly tapers. It has recessed windows with two lights in the upper stage (the service room), featuring stressed cills and lintels. A heavy moulded projecting cornice forms a gallery, supported by a cast-iron railing with fluted finials to the principle posts. The lantern has lattice glazing, surmounted by a cowl and an arrow wind vane. The engine house adjoins the tower to the rear and is also single-storied, with plain projecting eaves and windows positioned high up. A fog-stack projects from the northwest angle. Built into the boundary wall east of the lighthouse is the original explosives store for the fog signal, featuring lined-out render and a steep segmentally arched roof. The store has doorways at either end; one is now blocked, and it has small shuttered openings in the inner wall. Inside, it is lined with tongue-and-grooved boarding and was apparently divided into two spaces to house explosives and detonators.

A central corridor leads to the four rooms of the keepers' accommodation, some of which retain original fitted furniture, and opens to the base of the tower. A cantilevered stone staircase runs against the wall, with enriched newels. An engraved tablet is set into the tower wall, recording that the lighthouse was erected by the Corporation of Trinity House in 1908, with Admiral His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales as Master and Captain Sit George Rowlands-Vyvyan, KCMG, as Deputy Master, and T.Mathews as Engineer-in-Chief. A cast-iron structure, formerly housing the weights of a clockwork rotative mechanism, extends the full height of the tower. A cast-iron ladder staircase leads from the service room to the lantern, where a slate plaque inscribed with a verse from Psalm 27 (Except the Lord...) is affixed to the inner side of the glazing. The large Chance Lens revolves in a bath of mercury, supported on a cast-iron base with cylindrical columns and moulded braces.
