Appraisal
Part of a terrace of fine houses overlooking the seafront, this house is an integral component of a group which was built in the mid nineteenth century when seaside living outside the city was growing in popularity. The building retains much of its original form and character and its facade is greatly enlivened by the retention of historic features such as the handsome round-headed doorcase and moulded render detailing. The timber porch is a handsome later addition.
