Appraisal
This pair of former houses makes a notable and positive addition to the streetscape, due to the scale and form of the buildings. The pair is enhanced by the render detail, which articulates the regular form of the buildings. The simple render shopfronts are a notable feature of the building. The buildings retains many interesting features and materials, such as the slate roofs, timber sash windows and timber panelled doors.
