Appraisal
A finely-detailed late Victorian house distinguished by the careful detailing of barge boards, dormers with side glazing and stucco surrounds to bay windows and door label. It is further enhanced by a surrounding wall to roadside and a Gothic style gateway to the garden. The simple plan with elaborate detailing contributes to its strong architectural character.
