house

Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built c.1900, having gable-fronted break front end bay with hipped roofed two-storey canted bay to front (north-east). Pitched slate roofs with timber-clad eaves course, coursed red brick chimneystacks, rooflights and cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls with plinth and sill course. Rendered string course and dentilated cornice to canted bay and decorative carved timber bargeboards to gable-front. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills having timber casement windows. Round-headed opening to recessed porch, having chamfered reveals, square-headed door opening to interior having glazed timber door with side panels and single pane overlight.

The asymmetrical layout of this house with gabled bay and canted bay window is characteristic of many of the fine houses which were built in the western side of Crosshaven in the late nineteenth century when sea side living grew in popularity. The original form of the house has remained intact while historic features such as carved timber bargeboards and timber doorcase further enhance its character.
