Appraisal
This house is an important part of a terrace which maintains its historic character through the retention of key historic features including slate roofs, cast-iron gutters and sash windows. The fine shopfront is a notable feature, which is of pleasing proportions and displays interesting elements, including angelic consoles, a tiled stall riser and bakelite frieze.
