Appraisal
Buxton Villa is one of a number of well-proportioned houses along Sunday's Well Road which occupies the most elevated position on its site, maximizing the south facing light and views. It retains historic fabric and features, including timber sliding sash windows, decorative render surrounds, internal timber panelled shutters, and fine railings and gate, which add to its setting and to the streetscape.
