Appraisal
This attractive building is set within landscaped gardens on an elevated position overlooking the harbour to the south and west. The character of the building is maintained through the retention of defining features including tripartite windows, sill courses and box bays. Originally built in the early nineteenth century, it was interestingly modified and extended in the early twentieth century, and retains fabric and character spanning two centuries.
