Appraisal
Built by F. Murray & Son, this handsome house is a colourful addition to the urban landscape. The grey walls and red brick contrast with the predominantly painted rendered or rubble sandstone buildings in the surrounding area. The canted end bays enliven the design and add depth and interest to the plan, elevations and roof profiles. The retention of historic features, including the timber sliding sash windows and fanlight add to its character and charm.
