What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1850, with projecting south bay and recent conservatory to front (west) elevation, flat-roofed single-bay two-storey blocks to rear (east) and attached gabled outbuilding to north-east. Hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and overhanging bracketed eaves. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with cut stone sills and tripartite one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, that to ground floor of projecting bay with two-over-two pane flanked by one-over-one pane, that to central bay having one-over-one pane. Square-headed openings to rear and north elevations with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening to conservatory with recent door. Rubble stone retaining wall to front. Rendered boundary wall to rear with square-profile rendered piers with render caps and cast-iron gate.
Forming a pair with its neighbour and a group with structures of similar design and date to south, adds curious façade to roadscape and fine front elevation to shoreline. Despite alterations, retains notable features such as tripartite windows and much of its form and fabric. Bracketed eaves add artistic interest as do round-headed window surrounds.
