Kent House

Kent House, originally called Marine Terrace, was built in 1810 but has a later appearance. It is a three-storey building with attics and a semi-basement, finished in stucco. The roof is tiled and half-hipped at the ends. Each of the two windows and one dormer has moulded architrave surrounds with cornices above, supported on consoles. The upper floors of No 24 are missing glazing bars. There are iron balconies on the first floor of Nos 23 and 24, and also on the ground floor of No 23. The round-headed doorways feature semi-circular fanlights and moulded cornices of the same shape above. These doorways are accessed by 10 steps, with an iron handrail on one side and a shaped cement-coated brick wall on the other, which is terminated on the inner sides by a pier topped with a ball cap. No 26 has two cement walls leading to its steps. Nos 23 to 36 form a group.
