Replacement uPVC casement windows, two-leaf entrance door with glazed upper panel.

A finely detailed Regency style villa with impressive Ionic portico within extensive grounds to the south of the railway station. Stylistic attributes from the Regency period enhance the formal architectural design value of the composition, including the distinctive overhanging roof, entrance portico and single-storey over basement form. There are attractive views of the house, surrounded by trees, from the railway station and railway bridge, making a significant contribution to the character of Church Street. The original entrance avenue was off Church Street immediately east of the school complex and has now been relocated to Railway Street. Some of the building's grounds are now in use by the adjoining CBS School.
