Appraisal
Combines with adjoining buildings to form imposing and unusual but coherent group of structures on street. An imposing doorway and flight of steps ensures this house makes a notable contribution to the streetscape. Niche and timber windows are notable features which enhance the front elevation. Outbuilding to rear adds context.
