II

House, built in 1872 for a tea merchant, redecorated in early
C20. Brick with stone quoins and carvings. Roofs of slate,that
to the tower with decorative courses; metal finial. Two
storeys and loft. Scattered fenestration in a variety of
patterns, applied to an asymmetrical design. Victorian Gothic
style. Elevation dominated by three-storey tower, with facing
gables over ranges to either side, that to the left smaller
and half hipped. Decorative verge boards and bracketed eaves.
To either side of segmental-arched entrance is a bay with
stylised naturalistic ornament, that to left canted that to
right rectangular. Left return repeats some of these features.
The right return has similar materials and finishes, but lacks
any conspicuously designed features. To the rear the house
sets back in two, gable-ended and verge boarded wings, with
flat-arched openings; rectangular dormitory block projecting
from the rear of these. Moulded stacks to rear slope of main
roof and rear wall. Front doors and all windows of an original
design.
Interior: Entrance hall with encaustic tile to stair at rear
with rail of original design. Cornices to entrance hall and
first-floor landing, as well as several other rooms, have an
Edwardian character. The room to the left, or south, of the
entrance retains its boldly moulded Gothic cornice. Fine
collection of fireplaces, some with glazed, various tiles, all
dating to the remodelling. Beside stair to loft is a mosaic
light reflector, bearing some resemblance to mosaic work near
the dining room fire. Pair of electric light fixtures to
first-floor stair and landing of an early C20 design. The most
noteworthy decorative features are the stained glass panels
found in the entrance and the room to the left and rear of the
entrance hall: these contain a mixture of abstract and
representational forms characterisitic of early C20 work in
the Arts and Crafts manner.
