Exterior Description And Setting

Two storey/ two bay house set in a larger terrace, looking seaward, on N side of Seaview. Pitched natural slate roof with modern cement rendered chimney to each gable. Half-round plastic rainwater goods on advanced eaves course. Front elevation is lined rendered and painted with stepped rusticated quoins to each end. Right bay is narrower than the left one and contains the main entrance. Three granite steps rise to pair of modern six panelled doors in a semi-elliptical headed doorway (which probably contained a central door and side lights originally) with plain fanlight. Architrave is run moulded with an overlarge rusticated keyblock. The quoins to right are truncated by the doorcase. On the left bay at ground floor there is a large window opening containing a 1/1 uPVC window with fixed sidelights. It has a run moulded architrave with console brackets supporting an entablature. There are two uPVC windows with run moulded architraves and keyblocks to each upper floor. Those to second floor are diminished in height. Left gable is abutted by 49 Seaview (HB16/12/006H). Exposed section of wall is blank. Rear elevation was not inspected. Right gable is abutted by a lower two storey house. Exposed section of wall is slate hung. It has a semicircular headed window with 1/1 uPVC window at second floor left.

Historical Information

Although a building is shown here on the 1859 OS 6” map (which is described in the 1861 Valuation book as two storeys high), the present building dates to the early 1860s, being noted in the 1864 Valuation revision book as “not quite finished inside”. Its valuation increases from £11 to £38 at this time. This could indicate a refurbishment, or more likely a new build; the latter is implied from the Valuation map. Primary sources 1. OS town map, c.1860 (PRONI – VAL 12E/127/1/6). 2. Second valuation book, 1861 (PRONI – VAL 2B/3/65B, p.73). 3. Valuation revision book (PRONI – VAL 12B/22/23A, p.136).
