This house, which dates to the earliest phase of construction on the planned Main Street, has been extensively renovated and remodelled in the late twentieth century, leading to the loss of most of the original form and fabric. Originally composed of graceful proportions on a symmetrical plan the house conveyed the aspirations to sophisticated architectural forms that were an aim of the establishment of a planned estate town. The house is of importance primarily for its age and for continuing the established streetline of the planned street, while contributing to the regular roofline of the terrace as it proceeds to meet with the entrance to the Carton estate to north-east.
