The regular asymmetrical form of this house marks it out on the landscape. The form is enhanced by the canted bay and half-hipped roof. Artistic interest is added by subtle features such as its render plinth course and the timber sliding sash windows add to the architectural interest. The foundry mark, which reads: 'NEWSOM LIMK 181' is another notable feature and adds context to the site.
