Appraisal
This building forms part of a tripartite composition comprising the entrance-bay with giant order pilasters to centre and its immediate neighbour to the south. The render window details mirror that of the adjoining building and compliment the giant order pilasters of the centre bay. The terrace forms a pleasing symmetrical composition in the streetscape.
