Appraisal
Built as part of a terrace, this former house is an attractive composition of balanced proportions. The house retains its original form, together with important salient features and materials such at the sash windows. The shopfront is particularly notable for its carved details and comprises a balanced scheme that compliments the appearance of the entire composition.
