Appraisal
An appealing middle-size house of balanced appearance, which retains most of its original form and character. Finely detailed, the house incorporates an attractive porch, which adds to the architectural value of the site. Complemented by a range of modest outbuildings, the collective group forms an important component of the streetscape, representing an intact small-scale suburban estate.
