Window set close at ground in bay to left. Window at 1st floor in bay to outer left. Window at each floor, including attic, in chamfered bay to outer right (SE).

OUTBUILDING: 1 and 1/2 storey, 2-bay harl-pointed rubble store shed sited to E (rear), with fenestrated chamfered SE angle and N (side) wall common with quayside.
W (ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: paired low pends with replaced lintels at ground in bay to left of centre; timber forestair to 2-leaf boarded doors breaking eaves in bay to right.

QUAY: rubble-base rectangular-plan grassed former quay to rear (E).
The outbuilding is particularly unusual, set over 2 pends, with acdess from the close and the quayside. The 2 gablehead stacks and the hoist would suggest that it was some form of fish curing house.
