Owner's Note: - The house was originally built for a Sea Captain who left for sea, leaving his Architect to have free reign, hence the ornate features - the Sea Captain never returned. Thereafter two sisters, believed to be Suffragettes, owned the house, their maid's bell box still evident in the hallway. The decor colours in the main reception room, lavender and green make reference to the Suffragettes (purple stood for loyalty and dignity, white for purity and green for hope) and are seen in the Laura Ashley lavender wallpaper in the lounge. The ceilings are made from pressed metal and the turret is an unusual heptagonal shape. "My parents loved this house and I was born here, the house having been in our family for 70 years".
