Square-headed door opening with timber battened door.
Appraisal
This modest house has retained a good deal of its original form and features. Together with its neighbour, which also retains much of its historic fabric, it makes a notable addition to a streetscape which has lost much of its historic fabric. The enlarged display window and battened door which mark a former commercial use, is noteworthy. Simple shopfronts such as this are now rare and are often replaced by large scale historical pastiche.
