Appraisal
This house occupies a prominent position at the end of the vista downhill of Broad Street. It has an unusual asymmetrical façade, which provides interest and a contrast to the rest of the street. The windows may betray the internal layout and spaces. The building retains features such as the terracotta chimneypots and stone sills. The render ornamentation is typical of the town and adds textural interest to the site.
