Statement of Interest

A good example of a little altered simple Victorian classical house with an unusual Doric porch and distinctive deeply eaved gabled dormers. The vertical panes in the attic dormers are an especially unusual feature for this area. A particular feature of this house is its retention of a direct path from the main door to the River Dee.

The house forms the W side of a group of dwellings arranged around a garden courtyard which faces the River Dee. It is situated close to Inchley (see separate listing) and both are orientated toward the River Dee.
