This house has been extensively renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of most of the original fabric, although much of the original form remains intact, comprising an attractive modest-scale composition of graceful proportions. The re-instatement of traditional-style timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance of the house. The house is, at present, primarily of importance for continuing the established streetline of the planned Main Street, while contributing to the regular roofline of the terrace.
