THE SITE AND SURROUNDINGS
The large scale of the house is entirely in keeping with the site and surrounding area with the pitch of the roof and dormers being one of the most distinctive features of this architectural style. Its scale is also appropriate to the size of plot on which it sits being 0.9 of an acre.
Hill Top itself is a lush suburban street adorned with fully grown trees lining the road and surrounding the properties. These houses, some of the most prestigious in the northwest typically spacious and detached, are set back from the road within generous gardens. The architectural styles span different eras, ranging from Victorian and Edwardian to contemporary designs, the only cohesive feature which gives continuity to the immediate area is the rich greenery which often only permits a glimpse of the fabulous houses beyond. There is no dominant vernacular style, individuality is the style that defines the character of this neighbourhood. Some of these houses are the work of renowned architects such as Edgar Wood and Henry Goldsmith.
