Group value with the Church of Saint Catherine.
An inventive design for a small early C20 house, which takes the Arts and Crafts principals of the use of vernacular materials and detail and of expressive planning, to create an architectural style particularly apt for the seaside, in a design dominated by the alternately open and enclosed verandah, and the first floor balcony.
