Each of Reginald Blomfield's houses on the St Catharine's estate represents a personal design, pleasing to look at in itself and as part of the whole group. So this house built about a hundred years later is the most alien of a number of newer houses or blocks of flats, being at once utterly undistinguished and entirely self-absorbed. A design with something to say should have been a prerequisite in the Broxbourne Conservation Area, though I do not know whether the designation covered the estate at the time of building.
