Four Acre House

Four Acre House is a house dating from 1901, designed by Ernest Newton. It is constructed of red brick with red brick dressings and some blue brick diapering. The roof is tiled. The house is two storeys high, with a tall brick stack to the left, brick stacks to the rear on the left and along the slope of the roof to the right, and a central stack featuring three diamond shafts rising through the eaves and decorated with blue brick diapering. It has projecting gabled cross-wings to the left and right, with raised brick lozenges in the gables and a raised brick west in a circle. The first floor has four regular four-window bays with casement windows, with the two windows in the gables having segmental brick heads. The ground floor has six window bays, featuring pairs of segmental-headed glazing bar sashes in open boxes, with extension shelters on the ends of the gable projections, a three-light casement window to the left of the recess, and a glazed door to the right of the recess. A toothed brick string arch defines the ground floor of the recess. A hipped wing has a blank facade with raised end eaves to the right, with a circa 1930 extension set further back.
