Appraisal
One of a pair, this house is a notable example of late nineteenth century architecture. The complex plan, irregular roofline and use of gables and gablets are characteristic features of Tudor Revival style. The house is enhanced by the retention of its ornate timber bargeboards, which add artistic interest to the façade.
