Appraisal
This substantial house comprises part of a notable and largely intact early nineteenth-century and prominently-sited terrace. The elegant proportions and tall openings are typical of town houses of this period. It retains timber sash windows, probably replacements from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. The round-headed doorcase is also characteristic of the house's period and style and, along with the cast-iron railing surround, providing a focal point for the façade.
