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.
