GV II Pair of marine villas, now both subdivided into flats. c.1845-60, altered. Red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and slate roof. Double-pile plan under two-span roof, with individual back extensions. Jacobethan style. Two storeys and 2+2 windows, formerly symmetrical, with gabled wings breaking forwards and linked at ground floor by a loggia across the main range; with a plinth, quoins, weathered first-floor sillband, wing gables and intermediate gablets with cusped bargeboards and obelisk finials (missing from No.17).

The loggia, of brick and sandstone ashlar, has a continuous cavetto-moulded and weathered band and a stone parapet; that part to No.17 has pilasters framing an opening which has C20 fenestration, and that part to No.18 has a large rectangular window with quoined surround, and lowered sill to make French windows. Above the loggia, each has a three-light casement under a gablet.

The wing to No.17 has an early C20 stone two-storey canted bay window; that to No.18 has a recent two-storey triangular bay window of lead and wood. Two-span roof with three ridge chimneys. Return walls have side wings, variously altered.

Forms part of a noteworthy mid-C19 seaside development of villas and boarding houses.
