Villa, now hotel. Early C19. Rendered, slate roof. A symmetrical villa front facing E, and forming a stop at the end of the island block of buildings between Lynmouth Street and Riverside Road. 2 storeys; 3-window front. The first floor has 3 plain sashes, and the ground floor has, to the left, a deep 2-light small-pane casement, and to the right a canted bay with 4:12:4-pane sashes; this has a hipped slate roof, with a small central gablet. The door is under a later gabled porch, and this central bay is slightly stepped forward, with a scalloped barge-board and drop finial, on a hipped roof. To the right is an added bay, returned right in 3 bays to the street front, with 2-light small-pane casements over a rubble wall with mid C20 fenestration. The return, left, has an original 2-light small-pane casement above C20 doors. There is a stack to the centre, rear. INTERIOR: altered, but ground floor retains some original cornicing and joinery. Before the 1952 flood this building, like those adjoining, faced Lynmouth Street to the S, with the rear immediately fronting the river. Riverside Road was formed after the flood, when the river bed was moved to the N.
