What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1850, with projecting north bay and lean-to half-glazed porch to front (west) elevation. Flat-roofed extension to rear (east). Hipped artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and overhanging bracketed eaves. Rendered walls, roughcast to rear. Square-headed openings with cut stone sills and tripartite one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, those to ground with two-over-two flanked by one-over-one pane, that to first floor of central bay with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window. Square-headed openings to south and rear (east) elevations with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed openings to porch with fixed timber windows. Square-headed opening to porch with timber panelled half-glazed door. Cut stone retaining wall to front with steps. Rubble stone boundary wall to rear with rendered copings and square-profile rendered piers with cast-iron gate.
Forming a pair with its neighbour and a group with structures of similar design and date to north and south, adds curious façade to roadscape and fine front elevation to shoreline. Retains notable features such as tripartite windows and much of its form and fabric. Bracketed eaves add artistic interest as do round-headed window surrounds.
