What is recorded here
Terraced three-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c.1840. Recent glazed lean-to addition to front (north-east). Pitched artificial slate roof having rendered chimneystack, eaves course, flat-roofed dormer window and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls with render sill course to first floor, cast-iron vents at ground floor. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, moulded render surrounds and uPVC casement windows. Round-headed door opening having engaged Doric columns surmounted by cornice and archivolt. Timber glazed door having 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 and replacement stone steps.
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.
