Appraisal
The unusual shouldered window openings and decorative cornice and frieze make this building a notable addition to the streetscape. Its façade adds variety and interest in a terrace of buildings which have regular rectangular openings and little or no render detailing. The related outbuilding to rear adds to its setting and context.
