Appraisal
The small scale of this house is enlivened by the unusually fine joinery of the doorway and windows of the front elevation, where the intricate glazing bars of the original windows and the decorative details of the panelled front door display a high level of craftsmanship. The significance of the building is further enhanced by it forming one of a pair with the adjoining house, Willowgrove, which also retains its original architectural features.
