Appraisal
This house forms an integral part of a long terrace of historic houses set overlooking the harbour. The retention of historic features including diminishing window openings, substantial chimneystacks timber sliding sash windows add historic character to both the building and streetscape. The classically inspired doorcase forms the facade's decorative focus and is a notably well-designed and executed feature.
