house

Terraced three-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, built c.1840. Recent glazed porch to front (north-east). Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystack and eaves course. Cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods with recent flat-roofed projecting dormer windows and rooflights. Roughcast rendered walls having render sill course to first floor. Square-headed window openings with render sills, moulded surrounds and uPVC casement windows. Round-headed door opening having engaged Doric columns surmounted by cornice and archivolt. Timber panelled door with brass door furniture and spoked fanlight. Lined-and-ruled rendered enclosing wall having rendered coping, moulded rendered gate piers and capping. Cast-iron pedestrian gate.

Part of a terrace of fine houses overlooking the seafront, this house is an integral component of a group which was built in the mid nineteenth century when seaside living outside the city was growing in popularity. The building retains much of its original form and character and its facade is greatly enlivened by the retention of historic features such as the handsome round-headed doorcase and moulded render detailing.
