Lifeboat house, now museum. Mid to later C19; altered. Cobble walls with sandstone plinth and red brick dressings including flush strips, slate roof. Rectangular plan aligned with slipway.

Single storey with three-bay sides and tall steeply-pitched roof. Each side has buttressed corners, and three one-light wooden-louvred windows with stone sills and lintels and chamfered brick jambs, the centre framed by brick strips, and added benches sheltered by a roof supported by cast-iron columns; and above the centre of each is a steeply-pitched gabled dormer with a window like the others, and a finial. The centre of the roof has a wooden lantern with steep slated pyramidal cap surmounted by a weathervane. The south gable wall has a large doorway with folding double doors, a one-light window above, and projected verges with an apex finial.

Forms a group with the windmill (q.v.) which stands close to the north end.
