Single windows at ground in bays flanking centre; single windows in all bays at 1st floor. 3-light canted dormer in bay to outer right; large box-dormer to left of centre.

BOUNDARY WALLS: low coped boundary wall enclosing site to front. Random rubble sandstone wall at rear.
Despite the loss of glazing and insertion of a large box dormer, this flatted block plays an important role within the townscape. Not only are its remaining details good - note the pilastered doorpieces, corniced stacks and exterior stairs, but also, its relationship with the adjacent block, particularly from the rear, is impressive (see separate list entry for Nos 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 Victoria Place, Marine Road). With its stairs, cast-iron balustrades and harl-pointed rubble, this picturesque development is planned in the manner of Edinburgh Colonies. Single storey pitched and flat-roofed addition to outer left (not listed).
