Description

No. 68 is a villa built around 1830 to 1840. It has a rendered and colourwashed exterior with exposed Ham stone dressings and a hipped Welsh slate roof featuring wide overhanging flat-soffite eaves and end chimneys. The building is two stories high and has three bays. It includes a projecting stone flat-roof porch supported by Ionic columns and a full entablature. The entrance has a six-panel door, of which four panels are now glazed. On either side of the porch are two flat-roofed angled bay windows with plain sash windows, cornices, and small parapets. The first floor features three 12-pane sash windows with margins. The interior has not been seen. The front boundary wall, which has copings, and two capped gate piers, all made of stone, are also significant for maintaining the street scene.
