Appraisal
This house is one of the few buildings on Market Street without a shopfront, and is a reminder a time when urban living was fashionable. The carriage arch of the adjoining house to the south provided access to the rear of the pair, and demonstrates the carefully planning that was undertaken in the nineteenth century to provide vehicular access to the rear of Market Street. It was built as part of a pair which shares the same volume, window size, and openings rhythm. The openings are large and regularly spaced giving it an urbane character, which is reinforced by the use of careful render detailing.
