Appraisal
Laid out in the 1760s, the North Circular Road was largely undeveloped until the early nineteenth-century and not finished until the Victorian period. This house was part of a terrace of nine houses, one of the first developments on the road, of which only two remain. The house retains its fenestration pattern, has mainly timber sash windows and its fine railinsg to the entrance and basement area. The structure presents a relatively grand residential façade to the streetscape enhancing the general appeal of the area.
