and white tiled pavement and half-glazed 4-panel door with side-
lights and overlights. Paired sashes to right bay,those on ground
floor in tiled pent-roofed bay;those above separated by a
decorative-capitalled column. A single flat-roofed 2-light
dormer, roof hipped on right. External end stacks with heavy
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
fireplaces to rear right room, and first floor front left room.
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.
