Pitched slate roof with decorative red clay ridge tiles, red brick chimney stack, rendered coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Lean-to roof to return with replacement corrugated-asbestos, c.1960, and square rooflight. Painted shuttered mass-concrete walls. Square-headed window openings (in bipartite arrangement to first floor) with concrete sills. 1/1 timber sash windows with some replacement timber casement windows, c.1960, to ground floor. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door and overlight. Square-headed openings remodelled, c.1960, to ground floor with metal-sheeted sliding double doors. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
This house is building of unusual appearance, resulting from extensive remodelling works in the mid twentieth century to accommodate its present use. The resulting composition retains balanced proportions, with original architectural features such as bipartite window openings surviving intact. The house is of particular interest for its construction in early mass-concrete, which is of some technical significance, and the shuttered detailing of which adds an unusual textured effect to the streetscape.
