What is recorded here
Detached two-storey L-plan house, built 1898, with three-bay gabled front and recessed gabled corner bay and with canted bay to east elevation. Pitched slate roofs having timber bargeboards, timbered upper gable and brick and roughcast rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with red brick quoins and with buttresses to corner bay. Six-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with red brick block-and-start surrounds and moulded red brick sills. Glazed timber double doors with decorative render surround. Cast-iron gates and railings to site boundary.
The design of this interesting house appears to have been informed by the Arts and Crafts movement. The apparent architectural design and the high quality craftsmanship is evident in the interesting arrangement of masses, the brick quoins, and the notable brick window sills. The contrast between the pebble-dashed walls and the red brick quoins provides textural interest. The imposing entrance which retains its original doors is an interesting feature of the building.
