Appraisal
This house is of apparent architectural design with an unusual ground plan with radiating bays, designed to allow for maximum sunlight throughout the day. While the house has undergone some refurbishment including the installation of replacement windows, it retains interior features, and its original eaves course with intriguing cast-iron lions' heads. The walls to the site boundary have plaques featuring motifs representing the biblical parable of the loaves and the fishes.
