Appraisal
This house forms part of an interesting terrace overlooking the river, which is a notable and imposing piece in the urban landscape. Constructed of red brick, these buildings are a colourful addition to the streetscape. The building retains many interesting features and materials, such as a fine flight of limestone entrance steps, railings, red brick walls and a carved Ionic doorcase.
