This attractive house is an integral part of a terrace of six late nineteenth century houses, The terrace distinguished by its unusually large scale in relation to other buildings in the area, and is located on a prominent position on the site of an old Artillery Barracks, overlooking a large open area known as The Green, previously called Gallows Hill. The Artillery Barracks was built in 1748 and was leased to the War Office but was left derelict in the 1830s and was demolished in 1878. Though some features have been replaced, the fine moulded render doorcases, timber panelled doors, and cast-iron gates add much to the terrace's historic character.
