Comment: This area of Tettenhall has large houses
of many ages, from later Georgian through to the late 20th century. This
house - which has a large floor area, although it is low - sits in a part of
Tettenhall which vast Victorian residences all round. It makes no
concession at all to its neighbours but it lies there, elegantly geometrical,
and surprisingly unobtrusively, amongst the silver birches. It is about
the only house in this style which we have in Wolverhampton and it is well done
and worth keeping. At present (2004) it is in somewhat scruffy condition
but there are signs of activity and it is to be hoped that it will become
pristine again. This style needs to be smart to succeed.
