Description

LOCAL LIST Nos. 1 to 7 were once the family homes of local coastguards. They have a green front garden next to the Grey Horse Public House. The cottages are brick with slate roofs, sturdy brick chimneys and a first floor cill string course of white glazed brick. No. 5 has a former carriage arch and good four-pane sash windows above. No. 7 appears the most authentic with paired four-pane sashes and timber mullions to ground and first floors.
