Description

Terraced two-bay four-storey former house, built c. 1850, as a pair with the adjoining building to the north. Now in use as retail outlet.

Appraisal

This former house forms part of a significant group with the adjoining terrace on the east side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the west side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric. This building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, segmental-arched openings and slate roof.
