Whoever designed this house plainly had a lot of fun doing so. The three-light window under the gable is a fanciful Gothick variation on what (in classical architectural terms) would be known as a Venetian window. I rather wonder when the house was built - my web-search yielded no information. The barge-boards with their (signal-box style) pinnacles look 'Railway Age', whereas the Gothick touches are typical of - say - 1820. But I wouldn't rule out a date in the 1890s.
