A good example of later 19th century architecture adjacent to Stair Park (see separate list descriptions), which is noted for retaining its fine boundary wall, gatepiers and railings. Its decorative barge boards, shouldered windows and carved doorpiece, set it apart from less finely detailed pattern-book villa architecture.
