Appraisal
The scale and form of this house make it an imposing and notable feature on the roadscape. Unusually, it retains its original metal casement windows, timber door and door furniture. Together with the pantile roof, overhanging eaves, and box bay, these features create the house's character, without which it would be rather nondescript. It's setting is complimented by the stylish original gate.
