Appraisal
This is a fine example of domestic architecture of the late-Victorian period showing characteristics common at that time such as the contrasting yellow and red brick walling, dormer window and bay window. The exuberant brick detailing and square-profiled bay window with elegant stained glass and the decorative cast-iron railings add to its architectural significance and to the architectural character of Castle Road.
