Appraisal
This former house forms part of an interesting group with the adjoining terrace on the west side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the east side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric. This former house retains parts of a fine late nineteenth-century shopfront, which is a significant feature of the building. The survival of notable features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, slate roof and render detail enhance the architectural heritage value of this former house.
