Appraisal
A prominent building which forms part of a terrace of similarly scaled and proportioned houses. It is distinguished by render details such as corbelled sills, decorative window surrounds, rusticated quoins and a fine doorcase, which together with the timber sliding sash windows add historic character to the streetscape.
