This attractive house makes an interesting contribution to the streetscape of Stapleton Place, standing out as the only rendered façade amongst a group of red brick houses. The render decoration is skillfully executed, with the contrasting use of smooth and rock-faced treatments highlighting the architectural form. The lucarne and canted bay, which give the house its distinctive form, are unusual features characteristic of this street
