Appraisal
The use of simple yet effective decorative detailing in this attractive terrace is particularly striking. Red and yellow brick contrast with the render to form a polychromatic facade while features such as the gabled dormers with timber bargeboards and ground floor windows with margin lights add further subtle embellishment. Though some fabric has been replaced, this detailing continues to make an impression and the terrace retains its integrity as a well composed piece.
