Appraisal
This substantially intact domestic terrace presents a unified aspect, contributing to the fine streetscape of Charleville Road. Many features are intact, including cast and wrought-iron railings, timber sash windows, and some original entrance doors. The whole presents a visually-stimulating aspect, with a variety of materials and treatments and good retention of settings.
