Small villa. Mid C19; altered. Red and yellow brick in Flemish bond (giving a speckled effect), with sandstone dressings painted cream, hipped slate roof. Double-depth double-fronted plan, plus an added service wing to the rear left corner. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys over cellar, 3 windows, symmetrical; with a plinth, rusticated quoins, a plain frieze and prominent moulded cornice. In the centre is an unusual tall single-storey porch with convex sides and a flat roof, a round-headed doorway with moulded surround and cresting at the apex, and double doors with round-headed panels and a plain fanlight; and at 1st floor above this a round-headed sash with margin panes, and a moulded architrave with floating cresting on the frieze above. Flanking these on each floor are 4-pane sashes with raised bracketed sills and moulded architraves, those at ground floor taller, with large elaborate cresting and small brackets of similar character in the upper corners, and those at 1st floor similarly enriched but with cresting on the frieze. Two large square chimneys on the side slopes, both with moulded cornices. The left side wall has a sash with flat-arched head of gauged brick; the right-hand side wall has a large canted bay to the front room and a slightly smaller rectangular bay to the rear room, both with sashed glazing and moulded cornices, and windows above these like those at the front. Rear and interior not inspected.
