Appraisal
The architectural qualities of this house are immediately apparent and it is distinctive for its unusual horizontal first floor window between two gable fronts. Good craftsmanship can be found in the timber bargeboards and also in the decorative cast-iron entrance gates. Mature wooded grounds enhance the setting.
