Appraisal
This terrace of substantial houses retains a fine boundary wall with cast-iron railings. The design of the houses is simple and the length of the lawn to the front highlights an increasing emphasis on suburban gardens in the Victorian period. The survival of original windows adds character to the terrace. It forms part of the architectural diversity of Blackrock Road.
