Designed by Douglas and Fordham, architects of Chester, and built for a Mr Percy Toppin in 1893.
Brick with stone dressings to ground floor, timber framed above, with slate roof with tiled cresting and decorated finials to gables; brick axial stacks. Planned with a wide gabled wing to left (S) housing principal rooms, and a lower rage at rght angles facing the street (originally housing the morning room and kitchen), with service wing behind. Entrance at the inner angle of the gable: 2-centred chamfered archway to recessed porch; heavily jettied upper storey, with moulded brackets carrying bressumer; 6-light mullioned window to first floor, and 3-lights to attic in jettied gable apex. Leaded panes in the upper storey. Date and decorative motifs inscribed in upper bressumer. To the right of the doorway, a full height canted bay window with stone mullioned and transomed windows to ground floor, and timber mullioned windows above is linked to the main gable by a balustraded balcony at first floor level. 3- light mullioned windows to ground floor beyond. South facing garden front has 2-4 light mullioned and transomed windows with leaded upper panes to ground floor, the right hand window in rectangular bay, and a single storeyed gabled service wing wrapped around the angle to the rear.
The house is an interesting example of the work of Douglas and Fordham, freely
planned but using Neo-vernacular stylistic references. It is one of the best examples of the detatched houses which are characteristic feature of suburban development of this part of Colwyn Bay.
