Recessed rendered pendants, moulded architrave and cornice to bay window. Diminishing square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills, having uPVC casement windows.

Built as one of a pair, this building is set overlooking the harbour and makes a notable contribution to the streetscape. The health giving properties of sea living was widely recognised in the nineteenth century, resulting in a great increase in building in coastal areas to meet the demands of permanent and temporary residents. Though some features have been replaced, the pair nonetheless retains historic fabric of interest and much of its character intact.
