Substantial house of characteristic late nineteenth-century eclectic appearance, incorporating a variety of distinctive features, which significantly enhance the architectural value of the composition, together with fine detailing in render, which contributes to the artistic design quality of the piece. The early twentieth century flat roofed rear extension is a well designed addition which adds to the character. The house has been very well maintained, presenting an original aspect, and remains an important component of the architectural heritage of the locality.
