Removal of the porch and replacement of the bottom window sashes to match the top ones would be greatly enhance this building, as would a more appropriate colour scheme and fence.

Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
This simple Colonial house with slate hipped roof is unusual for its four windows across the front. Most house were designed with only one window per room. The top sashes of the original twelve light double hung windows remain, but the bottom sashes have been replaced. The lack of fascia board on the front elevation indicated that the render may be a later addition as it tends to give the impression of the house having no eaves. It is not clear whether the render conceals a brick or stone building. The chimney has been truncated and the fence and porch are later additions.
