Appraisal
This house retains much of its early twentieth-century character due to the retention of timber sliding sash windows, slated roof and vertically-divided door. The steeply-pitched gable front and bow window are typical of buildings of this era and add interest to the plan and elevation. The outbuildings to the rear have been sympathetically converted to use as a garage.
