Pair of lifeboat houses, mid-C19. Snecked rubble with cut sandstone quoins and dressings. Southern has Lakeland slate roof patched with Welsh slate, northern has Welsh slate roof. The southern lifeboat house is longer and has an outshut on the north. Each has boarded double doors at each end under a timber lintel with a small window above, and gables with plain bargeboards; northern has moulded finials and pendants. Each has 3 chamfered windows in each side wall; southern has blocked doorway with inserted window at west end of outshut and chamfered window at east end. All openings in alternating- block surrounds.
Included for local historical interest. One lifeboat was provided by the Duke of Northumberland in the 1850's; the second was provided a little later by the Pease family, whose summer residence was Nether Grange in the village, specifically for the protection and rescue of bathers.
