Description

Sea View is a three-storey building with a basement and a three-window facade, constructed from colourwashed rubble and facing east. The building has undergone later alterations to its glazing and features a slate roof with overhanging eaves and brick chimney stacks at both ends. The second floor has modern windows, while the first floor includes four-pane sash windows flanking a central tripartite window with an arched head. The ground floor features tripartite windows, with a central arched entrance accessed by a raised walkway, which includes a six-panel door and a four-pane fanlight. There is a dug-out basement as well.

The right end of the building has a rubble finish with one recessed window, and there is a lean-to structure on the left end. Sea View was once a school, and it is notable that the poet Dylan Thomas moved here in July 1938 from a cottage in Gosport Street.

Local climate

Sea View sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
