A terrace of nineteenth-century single-storey coastguard cottages, located on the shores of Belfast Lough in Groomsport. Extensively altered with rubble stone walls exposed, replacement fenestration and chimneystacks throughout. Large extensions to front. These alterations have compromised their character and they are not of special interest.
