This large two storey building is best known for its elaborate porch which is reached by a flight of steps from each side. The first has a convex configuration over which is a wide elliptical arch. Scoll corbels support the lintels of the sides, while a square headed doorway is set in an elliptical arched recess. On top of the porch are a series of segmentally arched, louvered windows. Other features include semi-circular wrought iron balconies on each side of the porch, louvered windows and a 'remissa' doorway. The facade lacks decoration apart from a balustraded parapet wall. At around 1929, this property was purchased by Lord Louis Mountbatten of Burma. Between the period 1946 and 1953, Queen Elizabeth II, before and after she became Queen, stayed in this house during her sojourns to Malta.
