Appraisal
This is a mid-sized early Victorian former townhouse, forming part of a terrace of seven similar houses on the west side of Seville Place. Recently renovated this house presents an attractive Victorian façade and retains its original doorcase and ironmongery, 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.
