Appraisal
Located on an elevated site, this house forms a part of a fine terrace overlooking the Owenboy River. Though some houses have lost original fabric, the character of the terrace is enhanced by the retention of timber sliding sash windows, slate roofs and fine entrances. The terrace forms part of a notable group with the surrounding late nineteenth century houses which were built along the sea front at a time when sea side living became very fashionable.
