Appraisal
The number of porches, gables, and bay windows are typical of Victorian architecture, as are steeply pitched roofs and decorative bargeboards. Retention of timber sash windows adding depth and texture to facades. Enhanced and contextualised by earlier outbuildings to rear which retain much of their form and early materials.
