Appraisal
The asymmetrical layout of this house with gabled bay and canted bay window is characteristic of many of the fine houses which were built in the western side of Crosshaven in the late nineteenth century when sea side living grew in popularity. The original form of the house has remained intact while historic features such as carved timber bargeboards and timber door and doorcase further enhance its character.
