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. Though many original features and materials have been removed, this former house remains an integral part of this group.
