Now in use as a residential nursing home. Depicted as a rectangular-plan villa on the 1856 map. Additions to rear and E wing by 1896, the latter was later enlarged and refronted in the 1950's when the house was opened as a nursing home. From the valuation rolls it appears that the house was built for a William Millar, from 1855 to circa 1874 it was let by his trustees. From 1874 the house was owned and occupied by J Miller Richard, whose monogram is on the stair-window and who presumably carried out the additions to the house.
