An attractive period semi-detached home that is one of five prominent Victorian houses built in 1870 that exhibit a rarity of architectural stylings including black brick diapering and white brick dressings interwoven with mellow red bricks. The decorative barge boards to the roof line and open porch and the canted bay window are all iconic designs for this period and further original internal period features are prevalent throughout the house.

Greatly improved and updated over the last 8 months by our vendors.
