Notes Large house, now shops and flats. Probably late C18, altered mid C19 and later. Solid rendered walls. Slated roof. Rebuilt brick chimneys on gable-ends. Double-fronted and double-depth plan; staircase at centre rear. 4 storeys. 3 windows wide, the central windows of 2 lights. Ground storey much altered in late C20. Wide central doorway flanked by fluted pilasters (probably C20 replicas) supporting an original triangular pediment decorated with key-patterns. Doorway now leads into an open lobby with doors to the 2 shops and the flats above; 1975 list description says it then contained a pair of 6-panelled doors. At either side of doorway a late C20 display window. Upper storeys have box-framed sashes. Those in second and third storeys are 2-paned with horns; older ones in fourth storey are smaller, with 3 panes per sash and no horns. The middle second- and third-storey windows have segmental arches; former said by 1975 list description to have had 'pilaster frame'. Deep eaves-cornice with thick moulded brackets. Rear wall has original mullioned windows with glazing bars in second and fourth storeys. The right-hand (north-east) fourth-storey window has what appears to be original glazing in right-hand light; 18 panes of crown glass in wooden glazing bars. In right side wall of fourth storey a small, old window giving a view out to the sea. INTERIOR: ground-floor shop and fourth-storey rooms wholly altered. Other rooms not inspected. Original wooden dogleg staircase rising from ground to fourth storey; thin square balusters, shaped step-ends, handrail ramped up over column-newels. The relatively modest character of the staircase in so large a house raises the possibility that this was designed from the first as offices or a rooming-house.
