Seamouth Cottage is a stone-built, thatched cottage with two eyebrow dormers to the front. It probably dates from the 17th century. It is shown on a Dunraven Estate map of 1779 and marked `Wash-house?. It was probably re-fronted in the mid 19th century as a picturesque feature of Dunraven Estate. It may have once been a pair of cottages as one of the windows replaces a blocked doorway. The cottage is thought to have been connected with the lime-burning industry on the beach and was later used as a bath-house for Dunraven. There is said to have been a pool in the living room and some lead pipes have been found. The north lean-to was an out-house with cold water supply and a back boiler. The south lean-to is c.1950 and formerly contained a garage and privy.
