Appraisal
Interestingly, this house was built to copy the footprint and the style of an earlier house on the site which burnt down. The decorative render quoins, plat-bands and label-mouldings are typical of twentieth-century building. It retains features such as timber sash windows, slate roof and terracotta ridge cresting.
