This curiosity on St John's Avenue dates from the 1870s, and is described as "a brick and stone building of irregular plan covered with a series of steeply pitched and gabled roofs which, together with chimney stacks and pots (some in Tudor style) break the top of the building into an asymmetrical skyline which is dominated by a 4-storey tower to the rear capped by a pointed slate roof" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=207131&mode=adv . "The drawing room was redesigned by Leonard Wyburd RA, who launched Liberty's furnishing and decoration studio." http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/property-with-cellars-1295427.html .
