Appraisal
Built as part of a group of six, it is a fine example of the Tudor Revival style, which became popular in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. It retains interesting features such as the gabled end-bay with highly decorative timber bargeboards. Much of its original form is maintained and enhanced by the retention of materials such as the slate roof, sash windows and ornate consoles to entrance.
