Statement of Interest

This is a good example of a traditional house, situated close to the sea and adding significant value to the streetscape of this part of the village. The North elevation with its central glass and timber door and flanking windows is a particular feature and the oversailing steps are an elegant detail. The ruinous cottage in the garden adds to the interest of this house, and is likely to predate the house.
