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

46 Seaview, Warrenpoint is a three-bay, two and a half storey house with basement, forming the central building of a group of three similar terraced houses facing the sea. Dating from between 1840 and 1859, it was first recorded on the large-scale map of around 1860 as part of Albert Place. The 1861 Valuation book describes it as measuring 14 yards by 12.5 yards, two and one-third storeys high with basement.

The building has a hipped natural slate roof with rendered and painted chimneystack at each end. The roof is partially concealed behind a blocking course with dentilled cornice and plain frieze. The front pitch contains three dormers, each with pitched natural slate roof, dentilled pedimented gable, dentilled eaves, and a pair of 1/1 casements.

The front elevation is rendered and painted with stucco quoins to ground and first floor levels. A stringcourse runs below eaves level and a moulded cill course to ground floor windows. The first floor has a balcony supported on five decorative cast-iron brackets to either side of the central porch, with decorative scrolled ironwork matching the adjoining houses.

The ground floor central bay is accessed by a flight of granite steps enclosed either side by rendered and painted walls with granite copings and modern loop-headed railings. The middle bay contains a single-storey porch with boxed quoins and moulded stringcourse. Its cheeks have modern timber doors with plainly glazed fanlights. Above the stringcourse is a decorative lugged and eared panel. The porch front face has a large semi-elliptical window opening with moulded stucco head and granite cill, containing a pair of reproduction semicircular-headed 1/1 fixed windows with plain spandrel over. To left and right of the porch, each bay has a tripartite window with moulded eared architrave and granite cill, all containing exposed box 1/1 sliding sashes. The first floor has a window to each bay, all diminished in height 2/2 sliding sashes with eared and lugged architraves. The basement has a window to each exposed bay flanking the steps—both are 2/2 exposed box sliding sashes vertically divided, with granite cills. The middle bay basement is entered by a modern timber door on each cheek of the external steps.

The left and right gables are abutted by the adjoining houses, with blank exposed sections. The rear elevation is entirely modern, featuring deck access to doors of modern apartments.

The building suffered extensive bomb damage before its original listing. It underwent comprehensive refurbishment and was subdivided into flats in the early 1990s. The roof was replaced, the upper part of the façade rebuilt, and the interior completely renovated. Only the façade remains as a feature of interest. Due to the extent of major building work and insufficient historic fabric remaining, the building was delisted.

The frontage is paved with a rendered and painted dwarf wall carrying decorative loop-headed metal railings with Grecian palmette finials.
