Cadw's description
Location
On a west facing slope at the south end of the town.
History
Built in c1890-1900 and probably by Thomas Foster, builder and his brother Edwin Foster, an architect and surveyor who lived in Bella Vista in Monmouth Road just across from Fosterville Crescent. Some of the houses in Fosterville Crescent are late C19 in appearance but the redevelopment of the street continued until at least 1910. These houses have been very little altered since building.
Exterior
This house has retained the chimney on the right return.
Rear elevation not inspected.
Interior
Interior not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included as part of a specially interesting c1900 housing development of definite character designed and built by the Fosters, a local family of architect and builder.
