Appraisal
One of a pair, this house is a notable example of late Victorian architecture. The irregular roofline, ornate timber bargeboards and use of gables and gablets are characteristic features of the Tudor Revival style. It is distinguished by the oculus and Diocletian-style windows, which are unusual features in an otherwise typical Victorian building.
