About Benedair
The National Inventory rates Benedair Regional, one of 105 in Mahon. Benedair dates from 1840–1880. 40 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This house introduces Victorian suburban elements to an otherwise largely Georgian terrace, and is more than likely a later reordering of an earlier house. This can be particularly seen in the canted bays at the ground floor level.

Questions about Benedair
Is Benedair on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 20868030).
Can you visit Benedair?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Benedair built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1840–1880.
Is Benedair protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
