Appraisal
This house is a notable example of early nineteenth century domestic architecture. The classically inspired façade retains a sombre elegance, discernable in the refined proportions of the structure. The restrained use of ornamentation is concentrated on the fine doorway. The retention of features such as timber sash windows and limestone threshold further enhance the façade.
