Appraisal
This house forms part of a fine terrace of three which was built on an elevated site overlooking the sea when Passage West was becoming a fashionable resort. This house retains notable features, including timber sliding sash windows and a handsome doorcase, which add much character to both the terrace and the streetscape.
