Appraisal
This charming and unusual gable-fronted Arts and Crafts-style house provides an interesting contrast to the other buildings in the street. The retention of features, particularly the tripartite timber sash windows, carved bargeboards and painted ceramic tiles ensure that the character and charm of the building have been maintained.
