Appraisal
This attractive house with its simple well-balanced proportions fits very comfortably into its seaside setting and forms a handsome composition with the similar buildings to its south. A set of paired sash windows add interest to the façade of this fine representative example of domestic architectural development in the early-nineteenth century.
