Statement of Interest

B Group with No 37, No 39, No 40, Nos 41, 42 & 43, Nos 59 & 60, Nos 61, 62 & 63, Nos 64 & 65, No 67 and Nos 68 & 69 Marine Road (see separate list entries). Forms part of a scheme of fashionable 2-storey, predominantly 3-bay houses lining the sea-front at Port Bannatyne. Whilst some of the details, such as the glazing, have been replaced, the layout and design of the scheme remain largely intact. This sea-front development is thought to have started in the early 19th century with what are now Nos 67, 68 & 69, and then progressed along the front, with Nos 39 and 40 dating from the middle of the century. Features to note here are the timber sash and case windows, the cherry-cocking and the overall symmetry.
