House at end of row, returns to South Parade. Early C19. Red brickwork in Flemish and header bonds, concrete tile mansard roof. PLAN: 2-room depth, with side entry and staircase, and C20 extension to the rear; the corner is taken on the curve, and the site wedge-shaped. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and basement. To the Quay the front is 1-windowed, with a 16-pane flat-roofed sash above an 8:12:8-paned bold bow oriel to a moulded cornice above a smaller 5:15:5-pane oriel. Under this is a shallow light, set back, to the basement. To the left, on 5 stone steps with nosings, a 6-panel fielded door in an arch in 2 orders, with plain fanlight. Return has a 16-pane sash in a gabled section above the parapet, and a 2-storey flat oriel with 5:15:5-pane sashes, above an original 18-pane sash to the basement in a small curbed area. There are stone plinth, moulded cornice, rendered blocking-course and coped parapet, with a stack to the right. INTERIOR: under restoration at the time of survey, has much of the original joinery. The bows have panelling to the sides of and under the windows, the ground-floor front room has a fireplace with reeded surround and paterae, with cast-iron inset, and there are double doors to the rear room. Panelled doors generally have reeded architraves. The staircase has a solid moulded string, stick balusters and Doric newels, and there is a tall 21-pane sash, which passes one of the landings. At the first floor is a fireplace similar to but on a grander scale than that below. There are no ceiling cornices. A delightful little building, reputed to have once been the Harbour Master's house, and, according to Ricketts, the home of Upham, the early C19 artist.
