Appraisal
Built as part of a terrace of five, this well-composed end-of-terrace house, despite its loss of render and inappropriate windows, retains its original Georgian proportions and elegant round-headed entrance. The octagonal piers with cast-and-wrought-iron railings enhance the composition and add interest to the streetscape.
