Coronation Boathouse and adjacent store building. A large boathouse of 1937 built to mark the coronation of King George VI and a small adjacent stone store building formerly part of a pilchard fishing community on a small quay.
The building is in a Tudor vernacular style with a jettied rendered first floor below an oversailing thatched roof and above a rubble stone ground floor.
It is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: its architectural interest - for its confident and striking design; historic interest - its unusual claim to have been constructed to mark the coronation of King George VI; group value - with each other, the quay and the other buildings in the vicinity.
