Appraisal
A fine terrace, set overlooking the harbour, which makes a notable contribution to the surrounding area. It forms part of a group of fashionable houses which were built in the mid nineteenth century in the area. Its architectural design reflects contemporary tastes, seen particularly in the gabled bays, bay windows, label mouldings and grouped windows. It retains much of its historic fabric and charm.
