2 Kirklee Road and 15 Kirklee Terrace, mid-19th century
Large Victorian villa on steep corner site, the Baronial tower with wrought-iron and glass porch added by J J Burnet about 1900, as was the billiard room. The whole concept is a light relief from the classical terraces on the main road. Art Nouveau fireplaces, and other interior details, in the style of Norman Shaw.
