house

Terraced three-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c.1840. Pitched artificial slate roof having rendered chimneystack, eaves course, recent rooflights and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls having render sill course and plaque to first floor. Square-headed window openings having stone sills, moulded render surrounds and six-over-six timber sliding sash 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 with cast-iron railings, moulded rendered gate piers and capping. Cast-iron pedestrian gate and rendered 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, timber sliding sash windows and moulded render detailing.
