Tall, irregular late C19 house. Entrance front of 2 storeys and attic, 3 bays.
Dark red brick with stone bands and dressings and bright red brick relieving arches.
Some parts half-timbered with plaster filling, other parts tile hung: a mixture
of traditional English motifs. High pitched tiled roofs with fancy ridge tiles
and tall brick chimneys. Rather small double wood porch. Garden front similar
and with wood loggia before recessed central bay. Included only for its connection
with George Bernard Shaw who moved there immediately after his honeymoon, found
the house to his liking and there wrote "Caesar and Cleopatra".
