A pleasant small-scale house of modest appearance making a positive contribution to the character of the locality: the house together with the range adjacent to south (12323037/KK-32-23-37) occupies a hollow below the line of the road, thereby enhancing the picturesque visual appeal of the streetscape. An attendant outbuilding, elevated and therefore contributing to an overall split-level composition further distinguishes the site in the street scene.
