Appraisal
This house is notable for its fine external joinery, evident in the canted bay windows and an impressive timber doorcase. The canted bays provide interest to the simple form of the structure and they and the central doorway emphasise the symmetry of the facade. The building adds variety to a streetscape of mainly single-storey houses.
