Greenore Point Lighthouse

Detached three-bay single-storey with attic former lighthouse keeper's house, built c. 1830, now disused. Rectangular-plan, porch with lean-to roof projecting from north and south elevations, lean-to flanking bay to east. Double-pile pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, granite verge coping, granite chimneystacks with stone strings and red brick top stages, cast-iron gutters on drive-in brackets, circular cast-iron downpipes. Painted smooth rendered walling, painted stone plinth. Square-headed window openings, stone sills, painted timber two-over-two, six-over-six and eight-over-eight sliding sash windows. Square-headed door openings, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors, cast-iron door furniture. Set in grounds shared with lighthouse to south-west, bounded by random rubble stone wall, painted to east, granite coping, square gate piers with pyramidal caps to east; located to south of Greenore Point.

This well-composed house, forming an interesting maritime complex with its associated lighthouse, retains its original form and fabric throughout. The striking chimneystacks, an unexpected feature on this small-scale structure, are of high-quality stonework and add further appeal to the structure.
