PORTLAND SY6873 CHISWELL, Chesil 969-1/3/20 (West side) Dolphin and Neptune with attached rear boundary wall II Two cottages, probably formerly one property. Late C18 or early C19. Rendered, slate roof. A symmetrical front to the street, with double-depth plan, including a smaller parallel back range which has become a separate property (Dolphin). Two storeys and attic, 2-windowed. 4-pane sashes with central C19 flush 4-panel part-glazed door. Raised verges, rendered stacks. Right return has plain gable to Neptune, then lower plain gable to Dolphin, but with C20 door and small 4-pane sash at ground floor. Back has some 4-pane sashes, and two one storey lean-to wings, all enclosed by high stone boundary wall. Central rendered ridge stack to Dolphin. This property, now rather isolated, may be one of the survivals from the great storm of 1824 which caused extensive damage in the low-set area. Listing NGR: SY6837373453
