End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having bowed oriel to front (east). Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystack and eaves course, having uPVC rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed window openings having render sills, moulded rendered surrounds and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Timber shutters visible to interior of window openings. Tripartite timber-framed window to oriel having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Elliptical headed door opening within timber doorcase comprising fluted reveals and engaged Doric columns on tooled limestone plinths. Timber panelled door having brass door furniture and recent overlight. Lined-and-ruled rendered enclosing wall with wrought-iron railings, square-profile piers to front with cast-iron pedestrian gate.

Part of a group of sixteen similarly designed houses this building is significant, not only for its unusual bow-fronted window which is not evident elsewhere in the terrace but also for the retention of timber sliding sash windows and its well-maintained, unaltered doorcase. Set overlooking the seafront, it makes an eye-catching addition to the streetscape.
