It is believed that the house was built around 1880, to provide homes for the staff at the then adjacent Milner Field (former home of Titus Salt Jnr) and this is reflected in the architectural features such as the gothic-style arches. Note the indentation of three shuttles in the gable to the front elevation - a reminder of the link with mills of Saltaire.
The house is constructed of solid stone 18" (450mm) thick with a stone slate roof, the windows are wooden casement, fully double glazed throughout.
The ground floor is of solid construction and the first floor is timber floorboards onto timber beams. The floor to ceiling height is 9' (2.75m) on the ground floor and 9'6" (2.9m) on the first floor with exposed beams.
The fully insulated loft houses the hot water cylinder heated by the modern gas central heating boiler with a complementary electric immersion heater.
The house has all main services, gas central heating, fully serviced intruder alarm and both telephone and cable TV/broadband communication facilities
Recent improvements include a full roof and loft refurbishment in 2000, new central heating boiler in 2004 and major downstairs improvements at the end of 2005
