house

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey over basement house, built 1862. The house is constructed in brick with moulded quoins and rusticated render to the basement level. A short flight of stone steps rise to the panelled front door which has free standing columns, which along with respondent pilasters, support a projecting cornice; there is a plain fanlight over and all is set within a semi-circular-headed opening; this is in a slightly recessed bay. Window openings are a mixture of flat-headed and segmental-headed with either one over one or two over two timber sash frames. To the rear (east) there is a canted three-storey bay and some tripartite windows with frames as before. The hipped roof is finished with natural slate and cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods; the overhanging eaves have paired moulded brackets. Rendered chimneystacks have plain copestones and clay pots. The house is set on a slight rise with the rear overlooking the promenade; it is accessed from a short private cul-de-sac to the front west side.

This is a well preserved mid 19th century house which is in very good condition. Its imposing design and setting add much the 19th century character and streetscape of the area. It is unusual in that it faces a private cul-de-sac and has a very public elevation to the promenade. It is one of two pairs of matching semi-detached houses.
