A. Architectural, design and artistic interest
ii. A good quality example of a building of this type and period, with a robust design.
C. Townscape interest
i. Within The Avenues Conservation Area, but atypical of it due to its scale and period of construction. The use of gault brick nevertheless ties the building in with the character of the conservation area.
iii. The building forms an imposing landmark at the terminus to Hove Lawns. It is clearly visible in long views across the Lawns, Kingsway and the seafront.
F. Intactness
i. The building retains many of its original features and overall design composition
