The earliest reference to a structure here is in a guidebook published in 1864 which mentions a 'spacious bath house'. An 'excellent boat house, private landing stage and bathing place' are recorded in a sales catalogue of 1896. A Boat House is marked on the 1906 25 inch Ordnance Survey map. By the time of the 1936 map a second boathouse, the present structure, had been built. The original boathouse has been demolished.
The present boathouse is situated on a platform just above the high tide mark. It is square in plan with rounded gable end, built of roughly course local rubble stone with a door in the south elevation, windows in the north and south elevations and a wide semi-circular headed opening in the east elevation fronting the estuary to allow for boat access. The roof structure reflects the building's curved shape.
