Why it mattered
house — SANDYLANE matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This modestly sized house, typical of such structures of its era, is distinguished by the use of high quality materials such as the limestone copings to roof and ornate render details to the façade. The subtly diminishing windows are a characteristic feature, which add interest to the different floors. The composition of the site is enhanced by the boundary walls and piers with decorative cast-iron railings and gate. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
