Appraisal
The form of this modest house is embellished by the decorative porch, which provides the façade with a central ornate focus. Features such as the crenellations to the porch and render hoodmouldings create a unified decorative theme, which enhance its simple form. Set in a mature landscape the setting is enhanced by the entrance piers and gates.
