Terraced two-bay single-storey with dormer attic house, built 1876, having shared lean-to canopy on carved timber supporting columns to front (north-east). Recent single-storey, single pitched slate roofed extension to rear. Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystack and uPVC rainwater goods. Pitched roofed half dormer windows to front and rear (south-west). Roughcast rendered walls with timber eaves corbels. Square- and camber-headed window openings with stone sills and timber casement windows. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door and rendered stepped approach.
Marina View comprises a picturesque terrace of sixteen houses which were built in the later part of the nineteenth century. To deal with the site gradient, the terrace is staggered in groups of four. The shared entrance canopies, timber matchboard doors and timber sliding sash windows are among the original features which add much to the group's character and charm. Apparently leased by the Cork Harbour Dock & Warehouse Company Limited, it was used to accommodate its employees.
