Appraisal
A well preserved elevation forming part of a restrained late Victorian uniform terrace. The fine red brick finish, its balanced composition, and authentic historic windows make an important contribution 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 red brick with textured render marks the transition towards the more varied features employed in housing of the Edwardian and subsequent periods.
