Appraisal
This mid-sized early Victorian former townhouse terminates a terrace of seven similar houses on the west side of Seville Place. This house retains an original doorcase and its general composition. It is still in single occupancy and significantly contributes to the mature residential character of the streetscape which is echoed in the scale and elegance of the Georgian terrace on the opposite side of the street.
