Appraisal

This building's scale and form is in keeping with the neighbouring buildings, which contribute to the character and sense of prosperity in the town. Though altered at ground floor level with the insertion of a recent shopfront, the lined-and-ruled rendered walls, moulded eaves course and replica timber sliding sash windows add to its traditional character.
