Appraisal
The form and scale of this building are enhanced by the brick detailing which provides textural interest and colour to the smooth white-rendered façade. The candid chimneybreasts, asymmetrical elevations and interesting circular porch contribute to the Arts and Crafts style of this appealing building.
