Description
No. 55 Acre Lane is an early 19th century villa featuring four bays, two storeys, and a basement. The exterior is finished in stucco and has an eaves cornice beneath a fairly low-pitched hipped slate roof with a soffit. The villa has sash windows with vertical bars; the first-floor windows are set within moulded architraves, while the ground-floor windows are in round-arched recesses with outer architraves and an impost string. Access is via ten steps that have a cast iron railing, leading to a half-glazed door flanked by free-standing fluted columns that support a cornice head, with a fanlight above.
