Square-headed window openings with granite sills, boarded up at time of survey (June 2018). Located on north side of North Circular Road.
Appraisal
Stone Villa exhibits the regular proportions, scale and classically-restrained detailing which typified urban domestic architecture in the late Georgian period. The use of ashlar limestone for the façade sets it apart from the other, red brick houses in the area. Dating to the early nineteenth century, it is one of the older houses on the North Circular Road and is also one of the larger houses in the area, set back from the street front within its own extensive grounds.
