Statement of Significance
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) for its capacity to demonstrate the picturesque qualities of the Arts and Crafts mode around the time of the Great War, hallmarks including the use of symmetry, dominant gabled roof forms and a pre-occupation with the aesthetic qualities of materials including in this instance, rough cast, terra cotta, timber and glass. This importance is enhanced by the high level of integrity of the place.
