Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house boasting architectural features redolent of the Edwardian period including the construction in red brick having 'timber frame' details, a variety of window openings, the gabled roofline, and so on, all of which contribute to the diversity of the built heritage of the locality. Well maintained and sympathetically extended the house forms an appealing feature contributing positively to the historic character of the townscape.
