Sources say the house was built by a gentleman to commemorate the sinking of a ship called Oceania, which he had personally witnessed.[1] The architect was Arnold Bidlake Mitchell (1863-1944) and the builder was William McCormick with work being completed in 1903.
It has polygonal bay windows, a large triangular pedimented gable and extensive use of terracotta.
Once a single residence Oceania has now been converted into 5 flats.
