Appraisal
Built as a pair, this house is one of a number of similar, substantial buildings built on the High Road in the late nineteenth century. It is characterised by features of the Victorian period including an irregular plan, varied roofline and decorative render and timber details. It is distinguished by the quality of these ornate details, which give rise to a coherent decorative design.
