Appraisal
The form and scale of this house are coupled with many fine details, such as the bay windows, to produce a highly-pleasing on this street close to the station. There is evidence of good-quality craftsmanship in such features as the decorative brick chimneys and the well-executed cast-iron railings. The retention of timber sash windows enhances the heritage value of the building and the interesting bow windows and porch enliven the façade.
