Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining house to the east, the pair retains interesting features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, moulded door surrounds and slate roofs. The houses in the terrace are stacked on two levels, with the houses on the lower level facing south and backing directly on to the hill behind, while the upper level houses are accessed from the north elevation. Set on a narrow wedge shaped site, this terrace makes a dramatic impact on the urban landscape when approached from the east.
