Description

Formerly known as Richardson's Lodge, this gabled house with white render and slate roof has a high quality boundary wall with detailed door case and gate piers. It is similar to the wall along The Cedars (HER 12465). The house was the gardener's cottage for The Cedars but is now disconnected from the 'big house' by modern infill houses.
