Appraisal
Part of formal classically-inspired terrace, this house is one of a number of such groups which complement the civic and institutional character of Farnham Street, which was laid out by Lord Farnham in the eighteenth century. The house retains its historic form and much of its original detailing, including the attractive entrance arrangement.
