Appraisal
Large scale and imposing appearance heightened by full height canted bay to front and by hipped roof. Artistic interest added by cornices and balconies. Retains notable early features such as timber sash windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. Gates and piers to entrance form impressive feature along road and classical style appropriate to form of main house.
