What is recorded here
Detached multiple-bay two-storey house, built c.1890. The building is in a simplified ‘Domestic Revival’ style with irregular plan and asymmetrical elevations, that to the south arranged in the form of three large gables. The façade is largely in pebbledash with the apexes of most of the gables in tile cladding. The tiled gable-ended pitched roof has an overhang with plain bargeboards and exposed rafter ends, a flat-roofed dormer and tall pebbledashed chimneystacks. The entrance is to the north and consists of a partly glazed timber door with a flat hood over. The windows are flat-headed and have timber sash and timber casement frames; the sash frames are nine over one or twelve over one in typical Edwardian manner. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The house is set at the end of a long lane off a secluded suburban street, but is surrounded by a large garden enclosed by a hedge.
In design terms this house lacks something of the "finesse" of many of its near neighbours, however it is still an impressive property of architectural importance. It is also of some local significance, possibly originally belonging to local landowners, the Burnaby family.
