House. 1911-12 by C E Bateman. Thin, brown, wire-cut brick laid in a variety of bonds, with tile and slate dressings and roof of tiles. The house is on a slope and is set out under seven different pitched roofs; there are two principal ranges facing east, the more southerly set higher and containing the entrance; westwards off the entrance range run a large cross-wing forming the south front, and a smaller cross-wing; three more cross-wings run westwards off the northern range. Two storeys, irregular fenestration. Pound-arched, multi-ordered entrance with hoodmould and simply panelled door, giving onto a porch; all The principal features of the cast front are a gable over the entrance and a canted two-storey bay window with a gable over the front face and parapet over the sides; on the south front there is a five-sided, two-storey bay window with a parapet; the north front has two gables, one higher than the other, with a stack rising from the kneeler of the western gable; the rear elevation has a fine roofscape of gables: the largest to the south, the next small with a square stack rising out of its kneeler; this cuts into the next gable, over the staircase; and then there are two of roughly similar height. The controlled variety of the roofscape is punctuated by the placing of the five stacks, often at the edge of gables; the stacks themselves are tall, with brick cornices incorporating courses of tiles set on edge and 'pots' formed of four slates set on edge; the two largest, square in plan, have understated quoins at their angles.
