Appraisal
Set on an elevated site overlooking the harbour, this terrace forms part of a group of handsome nineteenth century houses which were built outside the town centre for both temporary and permanent residents who were drawn by the sea bathing and healthy air to this fashionable area. These houses add much to the town's historic character and charm. The decorative render detail and timber sliding sash windows are among the noteworthy original features that enhance the terrace's traditional quality.
