Appraisal
A good example of a late Victorian terrace of houses, with fine red brick finish and a balanced composition, it adds to the distinctiveness of the streetscape. The brick string course is a typical detail, demonstrating the craftsmanship in the use of brick which is characteristic of Victorian suburban housing. The combination of brick with textured render marks the transition towards the more varied features employed in housing of the Edwardian and subsequent periods.
