Many thanks David. The house sounds reasonably imposing but that may be a falsehood, but if it's not overlooking the harbour I believe it is in the vicinity of the harbour. It's a bit difficult trying to get more details from my 90 year old father who is back in Yorkshire, especially as the Penrice family lived here during the first five years of his life; but I appreciate your sterling efforts.
