House. Probably c1860-80; altered. Painted brick with some painted stone dressings, slate roof. Free Gothic style. Double-depth single-fronted plan with back extension. EXTERIOR: two-and-a-half storeys, 1:1 windows, in 2 very unequal portions: the principal portion has a canted bay window at ground floor with a parapet which has Tudor-arched pseudo machicolation; a Tudor-arched 3-light casement at 1st floor; and a slightly set-back 2nd floor with corner pinnacles, and a gable half-dormer with offsets and coped gable with finial, containing a round-headed window. To the right is a narrow set-back bay treated as a turret, with a segmental-pointed doorway at ground floor. A small Tudor-arched window at 1st floor, and a splayed top floor with two small one-light windows and machicolated parapet. INTERIOR: not inspected. With No.17 attached to the left (qv), one of a pair of small houses in fanciful Gothic style, forming an interesting foil to the larger Italianate houses to the right (Nos 1-15 consec qv). All the listed buildings in Beach Lawn, together with those in Adelaide Terrace, Bath Street, Marine Crescent and Marine Terrace, form a group in the Waterloo Conservation Area of Crosby.
