is covered with hand-made tiles. The windows
have leaded lights and iron casements. One of
the features of the plan is that access can be
obtained to the front door without passing through
the hall. The small motor
house close to the kitchen
makes a good finish to the
end of the terrace wall, and
is accessible from the side

abuts on this road, and
