STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

A particularly elaborately decorated rendered Late Victorian house with both Italianate and Boom characteristics, built in 1983-97.

It is architecturally significant as a remarkable decorative expression of both styles combined and for its diversity for architectural detail and historically in embodying the pretension of family life in late nineteenth centaury details.

INTACTNESS: Very good. Brickwork and chimney pots are painted, colours are not appropriate and the bush garden is not appropriate either, although charming.

CONDITIONS AND THREATS: Very Good.
