Lean-to extension to rear with corrugated-iron roof and smooth rendered walls.

Appraisal This house is one of a group of well executed houses known formerly as Wemouth Cottages and built by the Bath estate. The limestone façade and date plaque are representative of fine craftsmanship. The house retains some timber sash windows and gives a strong impression of the original look of the Wemouth Cottage group. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
