Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house distinguished as a landmark on account of individual architectural attributes including the varied profiles of the openings producing a Tudor Revival theme in the composition. The construction in locally-sourced stone produces a sober, almost monochromatic palette in the streetscape while finely-carved dressings exhibit high quality stone masonry. However, the external expression of the house has not benefited from the insertion of inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings.
