Appraisal
The well-proportioned form of this fine house is enhanced by decorative features such as the cresting, stained glass and elegant porch. The retention of much original fabric adds further significance to the house. The intricate cast-iron railings and gateway are particularly noteworthy, illustrating the artistic qualities and skilled craftsmanship at the time of casting.
