Appraisal
Built as part of a terrace of ten houses, this house forms part of a grand terrace design. The scale and form of the houses create an imposing and uniform group. The central pair differ from the flanking houses and are defined by the subtle breakfront, stepped parapet, channelled render and slightly recessed ground floor openings. The houses at the east and west end of the terrace are again slightly breakfronted and have stepped parapets, which create a defined termination to the block The building retains many interesting features and materials, while the site of this terrace is enhanced by the limestone paving, steps and cast-iron railings.
