House, built in 1872 for a tea merchant, redecorated in early C20. Brick with stone quoins and carvings. Roofs of slate,that to the tower with decorative courses; metal finial. Two storeys and loft. Scattered fenestration in a variety of patterns, applied to an asymmetrical design. Victorian Gothic style. Elevation dominated by three-storey tower, with facing gables over ranges to either side, that to the left smaller and half hipped. Decorative verge boards and bracketed eaves. To either side of segmental-arched entrance is a bay with stylised naturalistic ornament, that to left canted that to right rectangular. Left return repeats some of these features. The right return has similar materials and finishes, but lacks any conspicuously designed features. To the rear the house sets back in two, gable-ended and verge boarded wings, with flat-arched openings; rectangular dormitory block projecting from the rear of these. Moulded stacks to rear slope of main roof and rear wall. Front doors and all windows of an original design. Interior: Entrance hall with encaustic tile to stair at rear with rail of original design. Cornices to entrance hall and first-floor landing, as well as several other rooms, have an Edwardian character. The room to the left, or south, of the entrance retains its boldly moulded Gothic cornice. Fine collection of fireplaces, some with glazed, various tiles, all dating to the remodelling. Beside stair to loft is a mosaic light reflector, bearing some resemblance to mosaic work near the dining room fire. Pair of electric light fixtures to first-floor stair and landing of an early C20 design. The most noteworthy decorative features are the stained glass panels found in the entrance and the room to the left and rear of the entrance hall: these contain a mixture of abstract and representational forms characterisitic of early C20 work in the Arts and Crafts manner.
