Appraisal
Formerly mid-terrace, this house now terminates a terrace of seven houses to its southern end. Recently renovated for commercial use, with the loss of most external detailing, the house presents an attractive Victorian façade contributing to the residential appearance of this streetscape, while continuing the traditional scale of the late Georgian terrace on the opposite side of the street.
