Appraisal
A handsome, modest dwelling with attractive render mouldings. The building has been composed symmetrically around a central porch and retains much of its early form and character. The survival of original features, including margined timber sash windows and stucco detailing to the window surrounds and porch, enhances the facade. The outbuildings and boundary wall complete the setting.
