Description
This is a detached villa, likely built in the 1820s and altered in the 19th century, now used as holiday accommodation. The exterior is stuccoed with a concealed roof behind a parapet. The stacks have rendered shafts with moulded strings and cornices. The plan is double-depth, featuring two rooms facing southwest, with an entrance on the southeast return leading into a passage and a staircase to the rear. A service wing extends at a right angle to the rear.
The front elevation is symmetrical, featuring four windows. A ground-floor verandah projects over the basement level, with steps leading to a terraced garden. The ground floor has windows with moulded architraves and high transomed French windows; the first floor has two-pane plate-glass sash windows. The basement level has segmental-headed arches filled with 20th-century doors and windows. An attractive six-bay cast-iron verandah, returning for three bays, has fluted columns with capitals and pierced brackets, supporting a lean-to roof, and incorporates a mid-19th century cast-iron balustrade. Steps with later 19th-century cast-iron balustrades lead to the terrace.
The entrance elevation, with three windows, has a two-bay, single-storey projection containing a porch to the right. The porch features pilaster strips with ball finials, a moulded cornice and parapet. A six-panel door provides entrance to the porch and a round-headed window with a moulded architrave and sill blocks is alongside. Three first-floor windows and two attic windows, all with moulded architraves and late 19th or 20th-century plate glass sashes and casements, complete the elevation.
Internally, original plaster cornices, joinery, and a staircase with cast-iron panel balustrades remain. Some 20th-century alterations have been made to the plan. The house was depicted on an Ordnance Survey map from 1866 without the projecting bay on the northeast side.
