This house, built as one of a pair, is of social and historic interest, representing an early housing development in the locality sponsored by the local authority – the house forms a neat group with further houses to left (south-west; 11803104/KD-05-03-104) and to Dillon’s Lane (11803095/KD-05-03-95). Extensively renovated in the late twentieth century the house nevertheless retains most of its original form and some of its picturesque appearance, with red brick dressings and decorative treatment to the openings. Set back slightly from the line of the road, the house is an attractive feature on the streetscape.
