Appraisal
Elegant house, built as part of a terrace, overlooking the sea. Its original classically inspired form remains intact, and is enhanced by the retention of salient features such as the render parapet and cornice. The cast-and wrought-iron balcony is a feature shared with neighbouring houses, giving decorative coherence to the terrace.
