A villa style house, a type which was built in coastal areas, close to the sea, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Much of the building's fabric appears to date from the first decades of the twentieth century, at which time it may have been rebuilt or renovated, it is difficult to ascertain due to the vegetal growth. The fine windows and door add much to its character.
