Appraisal
This unusual house is an interesting addition to the road side and to the architectural heritage. The crenellated two-storey section, which breaks the long low form of the building, retains notable features including the shell detailing to the crenellations, chamfered corners at ground floor level and interest detailing to the upper floor window.
