cornices. Rear: 2 right bays project under half-hipped gable.
Left bay has french windows into conservatory (with renewed roof
and glazing). Interior: the 2 front rooms on ground floor each
have plaster-decorated and painted ceilings, dating probably to
the late C19, that on left depicting putti, grapes, and foliage,
that on right roses and butterflies, decorative marble
fireplaces; 4-panel doors with bird-embossed plates. Decorative
parquet floors. Open-string stair with turned balusters and
moulded handrail with spiral curtail. Coloured tile floor to
conservatory. Old cupboards and shelves in kitchen. Decorative

The ceiling decoration of the two front rooms is a very rare
instance of this type of embellishment of a grander suburban
home, and it is for this reason that the building is of special
interest.
