Description

The Boathouse and Dylan Thomas' Tool-shed Study is an early 19th-century building, known to have existed by 1834, with alterations made in 1889. It is a two-storey structure featuring a rendered front with a plinth, a slate roof, and brick end chimney stacks. The facade has a three-window arrangement with small-pane sash windows that have margins, flanking a fixed paired light window above a boarded door. At the rear, there are casement windows and an outside staircase leading to a verandah.

Adjacent to the main building is a single-storey shed with a pitched roof, vertically boarded walls, casement windows, and double doors on the west end. The interior of the shed has been preserved as Dylan Thomas maintained it, referring to it as his "water and tree room on the cliff." The Boathouse was originally constructed as a garage for Laugharne's first car.
