The brief called for a fairly traditional style house in an area where planning restrictions were quite strict and at a time when many new build houses in this area were unimaginative and rather characterless bungalows.

Internally, the house features a very generous amount of living space including a double height galleried dining room and a "solar buffer" in the form of a sunroom which faces on to a south west facing courtyard, providing useful solar gain to the lounge in warm weather.
