Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1990. Square-headed door opening with four cut-stone steps, and replacement glazed uPVC panelled door, c.1990.

Appraisal
A well-proportioned small-scale house, built as one of a terrace of four identical houses (including 22825002 – 3, 13/WD-36-25-02 – 3, 13), which retains its original form and massing. However, inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings having not had a positive impact on the external appearance of the house. Of particular importance for its original intended use as a coastguard cottage, the house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms an appealing feature of uniform quality in the streetscape.
