Description

Seabank is a 2-storey, 3-bay house built in 1795, with a rectangular plan and a later flat-roofed extension added to the north in the 20th century. The building is constructed of random rubble with stone cills and is situated on sloping ground that falls to the south.

The south elevation is near-symmetrical, featuring a central single-storey stone porch with a pitched and canted roof. This porch has a central timber boarded door, flanked by windows on the canted corner and the right and left returns. The outer bays have ground floor windows, while there are three first-floor windows positioned close to the eaves.

On the east elevation, there is a first-floor window to the left and a ground floor window to the right. A door located at the far right opens into the northern extension, and there is a small square attic window to the right.

The north elevation incorporates a former boundary wall that has been raised and adapted as part of the single-storey extension. It features a large square modern plate glass window set behind steel bars to the left, and a small square modern plate glass window to the right.

The west elevation was not visible as of 2002. The building predominantly has 12- and 4-pane timber sash and case windows. The pitched roof is covered with reconstituted concrete tiles and features ashlar coped skews, beaked skewputts, coped and cement-rendered gablehead stacks, and octagonal clay cans.

The interior was not seen as of 2002. The boundary walls consist of a high coped random rubble wall, with a timber boarded door leading off the street to the north, and a rubble sea defence boundary wall to the south.
