Description

An intact c1930s single storey house, under hipped, tiled roof, with characteristic stepped archways, rusticated columns, and so on. This house has stepped windows, which are unique and original. The front door also appears to be original. Although the street-facing fence is modern palisading, it allows visual transparency.
