Appraisal
This striking house looks out onto a large green area close to the centre of Clara. The house with its central, finely carved block-and-start door surround and substantial stone piers, which give access to its rear site, make a positive addition to the streetscape. The associated outbuildings are important structures as they form part of a group with the main domestic building, which is both architecturally and aesthetically pleasing.
