Appraisal
This is a delightful bungalow-style house dating from the turn of the century and rich with Arts and Crafts detailing. The oversize chimneys and overhanging eaves create a dramatic effect at the end of the avenue leading to the house. This is further enhanced by the very attractive multi-paned window, the survival of which is fortuitous. The rustic veranda now infilled is another interesting feature. The house contributes to the architectural legacy of Dromiskin.
