Appraisal
This house is a fine example of the Tudor revival style that became popular in the nineteenth century. The asymmetrical façade is enlivened by the gable-fronted end-bay. The house retains much of its original form and is enhanced by features such as the slate roof, timber sash windows and timber bargeboards. This house forms part of the complex of St Raphael's.
