Rockdale (not listed)
The only late 19th century villa in the area south of the centre that is close to the highway, and as with Lynnfield, it turns its back to face east to take advantage of the view. It has all the characteristics typical of its type, including slate roof, decorative ridge tiles, exposed granite walls, yellow brick dressings to window and door openings and decorative bargeboards. In addition, to complete the decorative effect, it has string courses at first floor sill and eaves levels made up of specially modelled yellow bricks. The large roof lights, however, clutter the roof slopes and spoil an otherwise authentic composition.
