Appraisal
This house is an attractive, modest-scale building that retains most of its original form and character to the road (south-west) front. The house is composed as a balanced design of graceful proportions and retains early or original features and materials, including timber sash fenestration and a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods - the interior may also retain early or original features and fittings of significance. Extended in the mid to late twentieth century, the additions do not detract considerably from the original form of the composition. The house is an integral component of the streetscape of Church Road and contributes to the low-lying quality of the street.
