Appraisal
An integral part of a terrace of similar houses, this is an interesting eighteenth century addition in a streetscape of predominantly nineteenth century buildings. Though altered, its early character remains discernible, particularly in its substantial chimneystacks, steeply pitched roof and elegantly elongated upper floor windows. The later stable block is a rare survivor in an urban area, and adds to its setting and context.
