Appraisal
This fine example of a late eighteenth century house is an important element of a terrace of houses and has retained its historic form and fabric including a slate roof, sash windows, panelled door and a battered plinth. The steeply pitched roof suggests that the building was originally thatched whilst the red and yellow-brick lined drains add character to the area. This type of building with traditional features is becoming increasingly rare.
