Appraisal
Tucked behind a street fronting terrace, this terrace occupies a site off the Sunday’s Well Road, and in common with some houses in the area, is accessed via an almost unnoticeable lane. The gardens to the front and small yards to rear are characteristic of the area, as many houses were built at the highest point on the site, to maximise south facing views and light. The render details enliven the facade, while the retention of timber sliding sash windows and cast-iron railings and gates add to its character.
