Appraisal
The L-plan form of this house, and the recessed porch, provide its main interest. it is enhanced by the retention of its slated roof and timber sash windows and panelled door. The polychrome brick chimneys add colour and textural interest, and the house is pleasantly sited, with mature gardens.
