Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
A charming double-storey brick late Edwardian house, built in 1918, with some elements transitional to the Bungalow style. It is architecturally significant as an unusual almost symmetrical representative of this style and historically as an embodiment of comfortable middle class life built despite restrictions, immediately following the Great War. If the garage is original it is a highly significant part of the building.

Residence - Physical Description 1
A charming double-storey red brick late Edwardian house, with some elements transitional to the Bungalow style. There is a major double storey gable across, with a minor gable nested at left and a hip over the entrance, in the angle. A hip extends to right, nested at front by two minor hips one over a garage which appears to be original. Unusually at front, a symmetrical pair of gables project. The upper gables are timbered and jetty on palisaded brackets. Below are bow windows, with four casements each. Upper lights are leadlight, lower are rectangular leadlight panes. The roof is Marseilles unglazed terracotta tiles and finials. The chimney is rendered, its frieze brick. Walls generally are roughcast, with a tuckpointed brick dado. The fence is brick with clinker caps to its piers. There are mature Maple (Acer) and Birch (Betula) trees.
