Description

Detached L-plan multiple-bay single-storey former boathouse, built c. 1870, now in use as house. Pitched and hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Roughly dressed limestone walls. Replacement fittings to openings.

Appraisal

Set overlooking the harbour, this former boathouse is an interesting reminder of the maritime history of the town. Built in the latter part of the nineteenth century, it would have played an important role in the local area. Though altered to accommodate a new use, the building retains much of its original form and character.
