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

6 Seaview is the left-hand property of a terrace of three late 19th-century houses arranged in three storeys over two bays, facing the sea on the north-west side of the street. Each house in the terrace has similar but individually treated architectural detailing.

The pitched natural slate roof features a tiled left verge and a large rendered chimney at the left end. The rear pitch has a modern skylight at its left side. The eaves are finished with a moulded overhanging course carrying crested gutters, which drain into a decorative hopper positioned between the two bays. A chamfered square-section down-pipe, secured with decorative brackets, connects to a cast decorative hopper head below the eaves cornice.

The front wall is rendered and painted with band rustication to the ground floor and lining to the upper floors. A chamfered basecourse is set below a frieze that runs beneath the continuous cill courses on the upper floors. The right bay, which is narrower than the left, contains the main entrance in a shouldered opening with moulded arris. The door is a modern stained timber frame-and-tongue-and-groove design with matching timber glazed sidelights (glazed to the top half only) and a three-piece transom above. Directly above this entrance is a single 1/1 sliding sash window to each upper floor, both with stop-end chamfered reveals; the second-floor window is slightly diminished in height.

The left bay features a canted bay window rising the full height of the facade, with its own canted roof tied into the main roof and sharing the common eaves line. Each face of the bay window has a 1/1 sliding sash window with horns, all with stop-end chamfered reveals and the second-floor examples slightly diminished in height.

A brass plaque and wall-mounted carriage lamp are positioned to the left of the front door. Modern timber signs are applied to the left side of each upper floor. The left gable is dashed and painted, with a large modern advertising board at first-floor level. The right gable forms the party wall with the adjacent property at No. 7 Seaview.

The rear elevation is abutted to the left by a two-storey return. The exposed right section is smooth rendered and painted, advancing slightly at ground and first-floor levels with a flat roof. Each floor has two windows: all are 2/2 sliding sashes with painted cills. The ground-floor left window has been converted to accommodate a fire escape under a modern lean-to structure. The second-floor left window has been converted to a doorway with a modern glazed timber escape door opening onto an external metal staircase.

The two-storey return has a pitched natural slate roof and rendered and painted walls with numerous 1/1 sliding sash windows, though some have been altered. Its right elevation features a modern door at ground-floor level to the left, followed by a modern timber casement window, with a narrow 1/1 sliding sash at the right. The first floor has four sliding sashes, with the middle two narrower than the outer examples. The second floor has two 2/2 sliding sashes. This elevation supports a modern metal escape stair.

The north-west gable of the return has two modern casements to the ground floor. The first floor has a small modern casement to the left and a 2/2 sliding sash to the right. The second floor has a fire escape to the left and two modern casements to the right, served by a metal escape stair.

The front garden is enclosed to the right side by a modern wall, with the frontage open to the street. The left side is bounded by modern railings on a dwarf wall marking the boundary of the Town Park. The approach to the house is brick paved with two reproduction lamp standards and two large modern signs at the street edge.

The south-east boundary of the rear yard, which adjoins the town park, is marked by a rubble stone wall that has been raised with rendered concrete blockwork. Enclosing the north-west end of the yard is a two-storey outbuilding of little architectural interest.
