Detached multiple-bay two-storey coastguard station, built in 1877, now in use as six private dwellings. The building is constructed in semi-coursed rubble granite with brick dressings and a slightly battered base course. Five of the houses are entered from a rear private yard to which there was no public access; the sixth has a small porch projection with a sheeted side door and sits on the south side. Windows are segmental arch-headed with six over six top-hung replacement uPVC windows. The pitched roof is slated and rainwater goods are cast-iron; the stone eaves course is bracketed. Chimneystacks are rendered with corbelled caps and clay pots. The building sits on a slight rise behind promenade; a narrow laneway extends across the east side. The station was converted to an army barracks in 1922 and then to private dwellings in 1925.
This official record and map point do not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
