Former Wash House to the Coastguard Cottages

GV
II

Formerly washhouse, later outbuilding. Built in 1882 in Gothic style. Built of yellow brick with red brick lintels, stone dressings and slate roof with large central yellow brick chimneystack with stone coping. One storey and four windows. Set gable ended to the street with stone coping and kneelers, louvred lunettes and flat-arched doorcases with plank doors. The sides have two single and two paired pointed headed sashes with horns but no glazing bars.

An architecturally impressive and externally unaltered example of a later C19 washhouse which forms part of a group of buildings at a coastguard station which also include coastguard cottages, former officers' house and former boathouse.
