Appraisal
As part of a pair of terraced houses this building occupies a prominent position in the Unionhall streetscape. The retention of original features such as timber sash windows and finely crafted decorative elements including raised render quoins, window surrounds and bracketed eaves course enliven the façade. The fine shopfront adds further interest.
