47 Seaview, Warrenpoint, Newry, Co Down, BT34 3NJ

47 Seaview is a three-bay, two-and-a-half-storey house with basement, built between 1840 and 1859 on the north side of the road facing the sea in Warrenpoint. It forms the right building of a set of three similar structures, with its mirror-image neighbour to the left and a more prominent central building flanked by both. The house was first recorded on the large-scale map circa 1860 as part of Albert Place, and measured 9.75 yards by 10.75 yards according to the 1861 Valuation book.

The building displays features typical of its period. A hipped natural slate roof with a moulded advanced eaves course is fitted with cast-iron half-round rainwater goods. A rendered and granite-coped chimneystack rises from the right end gable, topped with three terracotta pots. The front pitch contains two dormers, each with a pitched natural slate roof, dentilled pedimented gables, dentilled eaves, and a pair of timber single-paned casements to the front cheek.

The façade is smooth rendered and painted, with a platband between basement and ground floor level and quoins at the right end of the first floor only. The ground floor features a single-storey porch to the right bay with walls as the main façade and quoins. Its front cheek contains a large semi-elliptical window opening with a stucco architrave comprising plain pilasters supporting a moulded head with keystone and granite cill; it now holds a pair of reproduction semicircular-headed timber windows. The left cheek of the porch has a semi-elliptical-headed opening with a modern timber door and plainly glazed fanlight, accessed by a central flight of external granite steps that fall left and right to the basement and are enclosed by rendered and painted walls with granite copings. The right cheek of the porch is completely abutted by the adjoining building.

The remaining ground-floor bays each have a 2/2 sliding sash window with granite cills and eared moulded architraves with slightly pitched heads. The first-floor windows are diminished in height with eared and lugged architraves. A decorative scrolled cast-iron parapet balcony to the first floor matches those on neighbouring buildings.

The basement is smooth rendered and painted. The exposed left and right bays contain 2/2 sliding sash windows (vertically divided). Modern timber doors occupy the left and right cheeks of the steps' underside. The frontage is paved and enclosed by a granite dwarf wall supporting decorative loop-headed railings with Grecian palmette finials.

The building suffered bomb damage from an explosion that gutted the adjacent No. 46. Following this, it was subject to extensive refurbishment and subdivision into flats in the early 1990s. The roof was replaced, the upper part of the façade was rebuilt, and the interior was completely renovated. While the façade remains of architectural interest, major works have substantially altered the building's character, and insufficient historic fabric remains to justify its retention as a listed building. The rear elevation is entirely modern, featuring deck access with doors to the apartments.
