Flat roof and gutters concealed behind parapet with moulded rendered architrave and cornice decoration, rendered chimneystacks, and cast-iron down pipes. Painted rendered walls with rendered plinth and having rendered sill-band to first floor, and raised render quoins. Square-headed window openings having painted stone sills, raised rendered surrounds and replacement uPVC windows. Porches have moulded cornices and square-headed windows with render kneed and shouldered surrounds.

Appraisal
This house forms part of a terrace of former coastguard houses standing close to the seafront. The render details, particular in the quoins and window surrounds, makes them a landmark in the harbour area of the town and the retention of timber sliding sash windows enhances this house.
