Appraisal
A well-proportioned house of modest form and appearance that is distinguished in the streetscape of Villierstown by its position set back from the line of the road with a forecourt. Although the house retains most of the original form and massing, the replacement of much of the original fabric with inappropriate modern articles has led to the loss of much of the historic visual appeal of the site.
