Elliptical-headed door opening flanked by engaged fluted Doric columns with projecting archivolt, fluted soffit and reveals, timber spoked fanlight, timber panelled door and limestone threshold. Smooth rendered boundary wall with limestone coping surmounted by wrought-iron railings, square-profile brick piers with limestone caps to wrought-iron pedestrian gate. Smooth rendered walls with vehicular entrance to south-east having recent metal gates.
Appraisal
This modest house displays an unusual fenestration, which together with its fine doorcase, heightens the impact of the building's simple design. The retention of much early fabric, together with fine limestone dressings, is also of significance. The boundary walls, railings, and gates complete the site and add character to the streetscape.
