Description

Detached eight-bay two-storey house, built c.1840. Central bay flanked by full-height canted bays. Various returns and additions to rear. Hipped and pitched slate roofs, pyramidal to canted bays, with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings.

Appraisal

A large scale detached house which makes the most of its elevated south facing site, with the canted bays maximising light and views. Together with the former gate lodge and fine entrance sweep to the south, it forms part of an interesting group. This house, with its generous grounds and gate lodge, is a reminder of a time when the area had a more rural character, before it became a fashionable suburb.
