Appraisal
An attractive, modest-scale dwelling of balanced proportions and symmetrical plan that, although disused and partly derelict, retains its original form. The house also retains important early or original salient features and materials, which contribute to the appeal of the composition. The house is an attractive component of the streetscape and contributes to the historic character of Gracedieu Road.
