Exterior Description And Setting

Walls rendered and whitened. Four drop-hung [i.e sash] windows [with] vertical astragals. Central sheeted door. Left hand extension has a corrugated-iron roof, gabled end and rubble walls. Front flower garden. Condition fair, roof poor. Front about 76ft. Nothing remains of the building, with even the ground showing no obivious evidence of a structure once having stood there.

Historical Information

A building matching the main section of the house recorded in 1972 is shown on the OS map of 1835, but not noted in the contemporary valuation. In the second valuation of 1861 the property is recorded as a single-storey dwelling occupied by a Jane Lynas, with the representatives of William Mather the immediate lessor, and the rateable value £1-10-0. In 1883 the appearance a ‘small new office’ is noted, which may have corresponded to the extension noted in the first survey. Between 1881 and 1918 one James McNab jnr. is listed as the occupant, with the house in the hands of his ‘representatives’ up until at least 1929. The house was demolished some time after 1972.
