Appraisal
This well-maintained house with a former retail outlet at ground floor level is a reminder of the mixed commercial and residential function of houses in urban areas in the past. The upper floor retains its camber-headed openings with timber sliding sash windows, while the simple, well-designed and crafted shopfront at ground floor level is an excellent example of its type.
