Appraisal
A modest nineteenth-century building with an interesting facade that includes windows of different sizes, pub front, dwelling entrance, and carriageway. The chimney datestone is particularly noteworthy and its location is very unusual. The building retains its original form, materials, and detailing, and is a valuable example of the nineteenth-century street architecture in the town.
