Segmental-headed window openings having moulded render surrounds and stone sills to front elevation, square-headed window openings to other elevations, all with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Camber-arch door opening with decorative render surround comprising fluted pilasters with plinths and capitals and supporting elliptical open-bed pediment, with replacement timber door having stained-glass overlights and sidelights. Stone steps to entrance having wrought-iron railings. Wrought-iron pedestrian gate with rendered piers to rendered boundary wall.
Appraisal
This attractive middle-sized house forms a noteworthy addition to the streetscape. The stylized Art Deco-inspired door surround is well designed and executed. The canted-bay windows to the front add further interest and the whole contributes to the visual appeal of the building. The render surrounds and quoins emphasise its form.
