GV II
Lifeboat house with slipway. Circa 1870. Coursed rubble house for lifeboat with freestone dressings, slate gabled roof with coped verges and copings to parapets at sides, slipway of large roughly-hewn rubble blocks. Plan: lifeboat house rectangular on plan with large door opening in gable end facing seaward, from this doorway an inclined slipway leads down into the harbour, the whole showing above the waterline at low tide. Exterior: to the seaward side of the boathouse a pair of C20 iron-clad sliding doors on runners, the original opening altered to the present form to accommodate a larger lifeboat. Above in the gable face a bullseye window of 4-panes with a central roundel. Interior: not inspected. The building no longer holds the present lifeboat, it is moored out in Bideford Bay.
