Appraisal
A pair of semi-detached houses that is a harmonious addition to the streetscape, which comprises of terraces of various dates and styles. The render façade is enlivened by the render hood mouldings and string courses. The ornate chimneystacks and paired dormer windows with decorative timber bargeboards add interest to the roofline. The fenestration rhythm is found elsewhere in St Luke’s and helps to create the area's distinct character. The boundary walls and cast-iron railings complete the setting and add interest to the streetscape.
