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 form remains discernible, particularly in its steeply pitched roof and elegantly elongated upper floor windows. Some elements of the doorcase and later shopfront have been replaced, but these additions adhere to the originals and do not take from their historic character.
