Description

Detached multiple-bay two-storey house, built c.1905. The house is finished in render with mock timber framing with vertical hung rosemary tiles and sits on a coursed rubble granite base. The entrance is to the north-west façade. The north east façade has two projecting bays which enclose a small open yard. Window openings are of various sizes and are flat-headed with fixed and casement timber windows. The hipped roof is finished with rosemary tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. The tall chimneystacks are brick with corbelled caps and clay pots. The house is set at right angles to King Edward Road and it is set back behind a low granite wall with square gate pillars and replacement wrought-iron gates.

Appraisal

This is a well preserved house and a good example of Edwardian freestyle. Viewed with neighbours to the north and south it helps create an area of distinctive Edwardian streetscape.
