Appraisal
This house is part of a fine eighteenth-century terrace with the three adjoining houses to the west. The terrace forms part of a significant group with the terrace of seven houses to the west. These terraces are notable pieces in the urban landscape which were built in the eighteenth century close to the fashionable former mansion house. This building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, cast-iron gate, wrought-iron railings and round-headed door opening.
