Appraisal
This well proportioned house is of a form that is reminiscent of older building traditions, evident in the symmetrical arrangement of its openings and chimneystacks and its hipped roof. The façade is enlivened by features typical of its time, such as the box-bay windows and canopied entrance, and enhanced by the retention of the timber sash windows and timber door. Set within a substantial plot this appealing house makes a positive contribution to the surrounding landscape.
