Appraisal
This attractive terraced house and shopfront forms an interesting part of the streetscape, through having a fine render shopfront, its unusual reverse painted glass fascia and original awning casing being quite a rare survival in the town. The building retains many fine features including timber sliding sash windows and render details, all contributing to its heritage value.
