Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining building to the west, this pair forms part of a fine terrace which retains much of its historic form. This terrace helps to create the charming character of the town centre. Though recently renovated, this house retains traditional features, including camber-headed openings and timber sliding sash windows.
