Why it mattered
house — Canningstown matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A finely detailed early-twentieth century single-storey house with a number of notable features including bargeboards, thin glazing bars to sash windows, and good ironwork to entrance gates. The survival of so much original fabric is unusual. It is interestingly sited perpendicular to the road. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
