The site at 40 Maltby Avenue was purchased by Alfred Vincent in 1909. Vincent was a quarryman and stonemason and presumably built the house before selling it in 1914. It is a well proportioned and representative example of an Edwardian bay villa constructed of locally quarried bluestone, Edwardian bay villas are more commonly constructed of timber. The interior of this particular example retains the original decorative cornices and centrepieces from which lights are suspended.
