Statement of Significance
C Listed - Local Significance
Ardoch is an impressive brick Edwardian house built in 1909-10. It is architecturally significant locally as strongly representative ofthis domestic style, with particular interest in the large organic Art Nouveauinfluenced bracketing and fine late castiron lace and the overall massing with its diagonal axis. The 1940s addition does not diminish the significance. It is historically significant as a representative embodiment of confident family life in Newtown in the years before the Great War. INTACTNESS Very good. The 1940s addition is very sympathetic. CONDITION & THREATS Good. It needs some maintenance, particularly the roof slates. 1 City of Newtown and Chilwell Ratebooks. N

This steps forward at left, over the entrance, which is at the left end of the verandah, with a glazed Edwardian door and is approached by bluestone steps. The verandah is supported on impressive organically curved brackets and double and triple posts on brick piers. There is a fine cast-iron lace balustrade. Similar brackets support gables d the skillion hood over the front gable window. Upper gables are roughcast, with singles uppermost, set forward.
Chimneys have vertical strips, deep moulds and pots. There are terracotta finials and cresting. At the angle, is an attic gable, on the ridge line, its centre panel projecting, clad with shingles. The left gable is similar. It has a leadlight canted bay beneath the verandah. At left is a leadlight oculus. At the rear are two flats, each with its own entry from Buckland Avenue, and a brick garage and fence, all built in the 1940s.
