Description
This is a terrace of houses with Penrice Court, originally the Naze Mariner Hotel and later converted into apartments, located in Walton-on-the-Naze. The buildings date from around 1835 and were designed by John Warner, a bellfounder from Hoddesdon, as the beginning of a new development called Eastcliffe.
The buildings are constructed from brick and stucco, with a moulded parapet and a band running underneath. There is a moulded band below the first and second floor windows, and an impost band to the ground floor. Bases and capitals to pilasters are situated between the first two ground floor windows and the left return. The building has three storeys.
The original house, now Penrice Court, has a five-window range, with the centre bays set back and featuring a porch on the ground floor. To the right of this is the terrace, which continues with 16 windows to the second floor, 17 to the first floor, and 14 to the ground floor. The second-floor windows largely feature small paned vertically sliding sashes. The first floor has similar, longer windows and cast iron balconies supported by iron brackets; many windows to the left were boarded at the time of the most recent survey. The ground floor windows have round heads with moulded arches. Similar features are present on the three-bay left return, which includes a two-bay ground floor rear extension. The original house's porch has a central stepped approach, with two square outer columns and two circular, fluted inner columns, decorated with triglyphs and metopes to the frieze, and a moulded soffit and cornice. Glazed panels flank the porch. Round-headed doorways are located in the seventh, ninth, and twelfth bays of the terrace on the right, with a shared archway encompassing two doors in the 15th bay. Panelled doors with overhead lights are present throughout.
