Appraisal
One of a pair, this house is a notable example of late nineteenth century architecture. The irregular roofline and use of gables and gablets are characteristic features of Tudor Revival style. It is enhanced by the retention of its ornate timber bargeboards, sash windows and render hood mouldings which add artistic interest to the façade.
