What is recorded here

Detached four-bay three-story public house, built c. 1860. This was originally two semi-detached houses. The building is finished in render with a pedimented parapet and is framed with giant order pilasters. The original front door is now replaced with a recent projecting single-storey flat-roofed porch; this sit in front of a slightly projecting gabled bay. Window openings are flat-headed with replacement uPVC frames; openings are dressed with moulded surrounds and some have blocking courses with projecting cornices. The roof is finished with natural slate and cast-iron rainwater goods. The former front garden is now in use as a beer garden. The building faces the road and is set back behind a low rendered replacement wall.
Although it was much altered in the later 20th century, this remains a good example of a conversion of a house to commercial use. It is well preserved and in good condition and its character and detailing add much to the rhythm of this mainly Victorian promenade.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
