Appraisal
A well-composed, modest-scale house, built as part of a terrace following the gradient of a hill. The gabled fronted houses create an interesting rhythm at the centre and ends. The terrace is notable for its red brick construction, which was unusual outside major urban areas in the nineteenth century. The vitrified brick courses and chamfered lintels are distinguishing features.
