Appraisal
A fine example of a terraced housing from the early nineteenth century, set on an elevated site overlooking the river and city. Though original fabric has been lost by a number of the houses, the terrace retains its form and roofline along with some finely-executed render details. The separation of the terrace from the garden is particularly noteworthy, as it characteristic of many terraces in this part of the city.
