Appraisal
The form of this house is typical of the early twentieth century when good craftsmanship and detailing was common. The textural contrast between red brick and roughcast rendering adds interest to the structure and the retention of attractive timber casement windows, and of varied timber sash windows, enhances its architectural heritage value. Its setting, in mature grounds, enhances the house.
