Appraisal
The red and yellow brick utilised in the construction of this terrace contrasts with the predominantly rendered facades in the area. The varied window openings with their yellow brick surrounds add to its character. The houses retain historic features such as timber sliding sash windows, terracotta ridge cresting and timber bargeboards. In common with many houses in the area, this terrace occupies the most elevated position on its site, maximizing the south facing light and views.
