Appraisal
This former house makes a notable and positive addition to the streetscape, due to the scale and form of the building. This building forms part of an imposing terrace of three- and four-storey buildings. The façade of the building is enlivened by the decorative render detail which was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. The ashlar limestone dressings which flank the integral carriage arch of the adjoining building to the south is a notable feature of the building. This former house is enhanced by the retention of many interesting features and materials, such as the slate roof and timber sash windows.
