There are features of this house which puzzle me. The barge-board in its big gable looks Victorian, but below it there's a rather grand Georgian doorway. The two don't quite belong together, and I wonder whether the portico was rescued from an older house which was demolished. In any case, this is a handsome building. I particularly like the way the brickwork turns the corner (into Beech Avenue).
