Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
An externally ornamented mid-late 19th century cottage overlooking Rozel harbour contributing to streetscape character.
Historic photos of the harbour show it originally stood in isolation, with a progression from very simple exterior and roof, to full height loading opening in south bay, with dormers, to present appearance with double window in south bay and north wing.
Raised terrace to north is remains of WW2 occupation structure.
Alfred Edward Walton built the property to serve a commercial purpose and it was converted into residential accommodation later.
Notes and references
-
A photograph by Godfray from the 1880s, not long after the Boat House was built. It is the small cottage to the left of centre -
In 1937 the property still had its large loading door. The name of the property suggests that a boat was stored behind this door ... -
... perhaps like one of these on the quayside in the 1930s -
Late 1930s. It was not until after the war that the property was converted to residential accommodation, although the dormers suggest that there was living accommodation earlier -
The Boat House is on the right of this 1950s photograph -
1955, and the large door has been replaced by a window, not an accurate match for the earlier window on the other side of the front door
