Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
The house is illustrative of a higher status residence aspired to by prosperous mid-Victorian professionals.
The visual character of the well-proportioned house and the quality of its architectural style are of significance, with the full-height canted bay windows, unusually at the front and back, and the intricately worked cast-iron porch, of which few examples of this type are known elsewhere.
Built circa 1860s/1870 as a detached Victorian 'villa'. The pitched slate roof and rendered chimneys were replaced in the mid-20th century.
