Set on an elevated site overlooking the harbour, this terrace forms part of a group of handsome nineteenth century houses which were built outside the town centre for both temporary and permanent residents who were drawn by the sea bathing and healthy air to this fashionable area. These houses add much to the town's historic character and charm. The timber sliding sash windows, render detailing and round-headed doorcase are among the noteworthy features that enhance the terrace's traditional quality.
