Appraisal
Built as part of an imposing terrace, this house forms an integral part of the historic streetscape. Situated on an elevated site overlooking the Bride Well River, the building's rear gardens stretches up to the site of the old town walls. Though it has lost some of its historic fabric, this could be reinstated, using templates from the more intact houses in the terrace.
