Appraisal
An attractive late Georgian brick house, individually designed but sharing common characteristics within a varied terrace of late Georgian and early Victorian buildings. The houses are typical of terraced units built during the transition from the Georgian to Victorian periods, as Conyngham Road developed west in the nineteenth century. Although the building has lost its original windows, it retains distinctive features of interest, including Doric doorcase, tiled platform and railed basement well. It forms a significant part of the architectural heritage of Conyngham Road, adding character to the streetscape.
