Appraisal
An appealing, small-scale house that is representative of a type of domestic architecture in the early twentieth century. Features including the bipartite window openings, and subtle decorative detailing including the profiled tile to the roof, all serve to enhance the architectural value of the composition. Well maintained, the house retains important salient features and materials, although the gradual replacement of the fittings to the openings with inappropriate modern articles threatens the historic character of the site.
