Canted-bay windows to façade end of side blocks and small boiler house extension to rear. Hipped artificial slate roof with rendered double chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sliding sash unequally divided two-over-two pane windows to front façade and front half of side blocks, tripartite to windows in side blocks flanking front entrance, and mainly equally divided one-over-one pane elsewhere, all with concrete sills throughout. Square-headed door opening having paned overlights to timber glazed and panelled door and to timber glazed and panelled sidelights, approached by concrete steps.
Appraisal
This early twentieth-century house is notable for its unusual plan and design. The building is enlivened by the elegant bay windows. The retention of almost all of the original timber sliding sash windows is a significant feature of this house. The entrance is particularly ornate, and the use of coloured glass provides further emphasis to the doorway. The chimneystacks provide further decoration and add an air of grandeur to the house.
