Appraisal
This house is part of a fine eighteenth-century terrace with the six adjoining houses to the west and south, and this terrace forms part of a significant group with the terrace of four houses to the east. These terraces are notable pieces in the urban landscape which were built in the eighteenth century close to the fashionable former mansion house. The building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the slate roof, limestone paving, date plaque and fine timber doorcase.
