Appraisal
This terraced house retains its early form and character. The simple but effective doorcase and the Classically-detailed bay window add interest to the otherwise restrained façade. Church Terrace dates from the period when Moville emerged as a fashionable seaside resort and is unusual in that it was built in phases, rather than as a single development, with each house tailored to the specific requirements of the original owner. The house, and its immediate neighbour (40809046), makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
