A fine middle sized Georgian house, which is an notable eighteenth century addition to the predominantly nineteenth century architectural heritage of the area. Its steeply pitched roof, gable chimneystacks, symmetrical facade, diminishing windows and central round-headed door are typical features of its time, and add much to its historic character. Set on an elevated site overlooking the sea to the north, it forms part of a group with other imposing eighteenth century which were built on both sides of harbour during a period of great mercantile activity in the city and county.
