History
One of a matching pair of houses said to date from 1861, possibly one of the houses for coastguards to which the Corporation objected when proposed in 1858.

Four storeys, basement and attic, each house 2-window range with raised quoins, bands above ground, 2nd and 3rd floors, and parapet corbelled on paired plain blocks. Two gabled dormers each. Four-pane sashes to upper floor and inner bay of each house above doors in rusticated surrounds. Two-panel doors with overlights. Outer bays have 2-storey canted oriels with cornices and 2-4-2-pane sashes to first and second floors over ground floor broad tripartite sash. Similar tripartite sash to basement, altered on No 2. Slate-hung end walls and rear, the slate-hanging renewed in late C20. Rear is slate-hung to upper 3 storeys, with 12-pane sashes to each floor in outer bays, the centre bays with projected section presumably added, to 2nd and 3rd floors. Dormers behind parapet.
