Appraisal
This fine Georgian building has retained much of its historic fabric including sash windows, Gibbs door surround, slate roof, slate hanging walls and an oriel window. The building shares a similar design to an attached house but the later addition of a third floor constructed in brick makes this a unique structure within the streetscape. The contrast between the red-brick window surrounds and the exposed stone walls enliven the facade of the building whilst the retention of the original enclosing wall with tooled stone coping to the front of the building also contributes to the historic character of the building.
