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

6 Seaview is the left-hand house of a terrace of three three-storey, two-bay houses built in the late 19th century, facing the sea on the north-west side of the street in Warrenpoint. The house retains much original detail and its plan form.

The pitched natural slate roof features a tiled left verge and a large rendered chimney to the left end. The rear pitch has a modern skylight at the left side. Moulded overhanging eaves carry crested gutters that drain into a decorative hopper between the two bays. A chamfered square-section down-pipe is secured with decorative brackets and a cast decorative hopper head sits below the eaves cornice.

The front wall is rendered and painted with band rustication to the ground floor and lining to the upper floors. There is a chamfered basecourse and a frieze below continuous cill courses on the upper floors. The right bay is narrower than the left and contains the main entrance in a shouldered opening with moulded arris. The door is modern stained timber framed with matching timber glazed sidelights (top half glazed) and a three-piece transom over all. Directly above 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, with a canted roof that ties into the main roof and shares common eaves. Each face of the bay window has a 1/1 sliding sash window with horns, all with stop-end chamfered reveals and those to the second floor 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 a party wall with number 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 floors with a flat roof. Each floor has two windows, all 2/2 sliding sashes (vertically divided) with painted cills. The ground-floor left window has been converted to 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 onto an external metal staircase.

The return has a pitched natural slate roof and rendered, painted walls with numerous 1/1 sliding sash windows, although some have been altered. Its right elevation features a modern door at ground-floor left, a modern timber casement window, and at right a narrow 1/1 sliding sash. The first floor has four sliding sashes, the middle two being narrower than the others. 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 ground floor, a small modern casement to the left of first floor with a 2/2 sliding sash to its right, and a fire escape to the left of second floor with two modern casements to its right. The door is served by a metal escape stair.

The front garden is enclosed to the right by a modern wall, open to the street in front, and bounded on the left by modern railings on a dwarf wall marking the boundary of the Town Park. The approach 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, facing the town park, has a rubble stone wall that has been raised with rendered concrete blockwork. A two-storey outbuilding of little interest encloses the north-west end of the yard.

The house was first cited in the 1884 Valuation revision book, making it the last of the three houses in this terrace to be built. Its neighbour (number 7 Seaview) was first cited in 1883, and the house at the opposite end (number 8 Seaview) in 1882. The building is now in use as a hotel.
