Pair of marine villas, each now subdivided. c.1845-60, altered. Red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and graduated slate roof. H-plan, double-pile, entrance halls-adjoining pair, with individual back extensions. Jacobethan style.

Two-and-a-half storeys, a symmetrical five window range with gabled centre and gabled ends breaking forwards slightly; stone plinth, oversailing eaves and verges with barge-boards and remains of apex finials (missing from the centre and right).

The centre has coupled single-storey gabled porches which have cross-gabled roofs with barge-boards and tall finials; single-light windows to the front and doorways in the sides, all these with stone surrounds and hoodmoulds; above and between these a rectangular stone oriel which has a transomed six-light window with moulded transom and mullions, and glazing with margin panes; and in the gable above, a very small single-light window. The gabled outer bays have stone two-storey canted bay windows, the openings at ground floor formerly rising from ground level but both now with raised sills and altered glazing; and two-light casements to the attics. The intermediate bays have rectangular windows with stone surrounds and hoodmoulds, all with altered glazing. Two-span roof with inserted skylight windows, and gable chimneys and ridge chimneys.

Forms group with associated garden wall to the front (q.v.), No.14A to the left (q.v.) and with Nos 17 and 18 to the right, and is part of a noteworthy mid-C19 seaside development of villas and boarding houses.
