Appraisal
This terrace is a good example of a well-designed early twentieth century local authority housing scheme. Built as part of that scheme, this modest house retains its early materials and form. The retention of timber sliding sash windows and block-and-start surrounds adds character to the façade. It forms an integral part of the terrace that was designed to have a collective visual impact and which contributes to the architectural heritage of the town.
