Appraisal
A well-maintained house with a simplicity of design that was favoured during the early twentieth century and without the exterior embellishments that are typical of the Victorian and Edwardian houses which pre-dated its construction. The retention of timber casement windows and the original front door has helped to maintain the historic character of this building.
