Small villa. Mid C19; altered. Red and yellow brick in Flemish
bond (giving a speckled effect), with sandstone dressings
painted cream, hipped slate roof. Double-depth double-fronted
plan, plus an added service wing to the rear left corner.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys over cellar, 3 windows, symmetrical; with
a plinth, rusticated quoins, a plain frieze and prominent
moulded cornice. In the centre is an unusual tall
single-storey porch with convex sides and a flat roof, a
round-headed doorway with moulded surround and cresting at the
apex, and double doors with round-headed panels and a plain
fanlight; and at 1st floor above this a round-headed sash with
margin panes, and a moulded architrave with floating cresting
on the frieze above. Flanking these on each floor are 4-pane
sashes with raised bracketed sills and moulded architraves,
those at ground floor taller, with large elaborate cresting
and small brackets of similar character in the upper corners,
and those at 1st floor similarly enriched but with cresting on
the frieze. Two large square chimneys on the side slopes, both
with moulded cornices. The left side wall has a sash with
flat-arched head of gauged brick; the right-hand side wall has
a large canted bay to the front room and a slightly smaller
rectangular bay to the rear room, both with sashed glazing and
moulded cornices, and windows above these like those at the
front. Rear and interior not inspected.
