GV II

Symmetrical terrace of 15 houses facing the sea flanked by
Marina Court to the left and Bay Hotel to the right. Mid C19,
Nos 4,5 and 6 restored C20 after bombing in World War II.
Painted stucco, slate roofs with rendered stacks to most party
walls (some removed) and gable ends. Double-depth plans,
central houses have 2-storey gabled rear wings. Italianate
style.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attics; 2-window range. Banded
rustication to the ground floor of the whole facade. The
terminal houses and 3 houses at the centre are 3-storeys;
3-window range with 3-storey wings to the returns. These are
gabled with wide bracketed eaves, pilasters, eaves bands and
oculi in plaster wreaths to the attics. 3 semicircular-arched
windows to the 2nd floor have moulded pilasters and sill
string courses, that to the centre under a pediment on
consoles. Windows to the 1st floor have consoles supporting a
segmental pediment to the centre and cornices to the sides.
Ground-floor windows to the whole facade have segmental arches
with chamfered voussoirs and vermiculated keystones, those to
the 2-storey houses are tripartite.
The 2-storey houses have mansard roofs with 2 large
segmental-arched dormers, a continuous modillion cornice,
cornices on consoles to the segmental-arched 1st-floor windows
and semicircular arches to the doors.
The symmetrical 3-bay right return is similar to the front
except the plaster wreath to the gable is without a window,
windows to the left of the upper floors are blind and
ground-floor windows are tripartite. C20 porch. The
symmetrical 3-bay right return of Marina Court also reflects
the style of the front, the central range is flanked by gabled
stepped-forward bays. C20 dormer.
INTERIORS: not inspected.
A fine example of the more richly detailed Italianate style
adopted for mid C19 terraces, contrasting with the more

austere and earlier terraces in Den Crescent (qv).
