It has a most impressive gabled facade and was constructed in an Arts and Crafts style with partly rendered brick elevations under a tiled roof. The current owner has carried out an extensive programme of alterations, improvements and extensions and the result is an outstanding, versatile family house, suitable for a variety of needs.
