Appraisal
This terrace, which remains relatively intact, forms an attractive group set on a height overlooking the street. Its extent is clearly delineated by the boundary walls and gateways. Features such as the central dormer window and canted-bay window are typical of its time of construction, while its scale and form are also characteristic of the late Victorian period. The modest façade is enlivened by the render detailing to the eaves and window openings. The terrace is one of a number in this area which were built in the latter part of the nineteenth-century, as this city expanded.
