Appraisal
A late nineteenth-century red brick house built as part of a corner terrace addressing Berkeley Road to the east. Characterised by balanced proportions and decorative brick detailing, the building is a typical example of domestic urban architecture from around the turn of the twentieth century. The loss of some historic fabric has degraded the integrity of the building but its overall character is retained, complemented by the associated terrace to the east. It makes a strong contribution to the streetscape and provides diversity among the unified single-storey terraces which characterise the remainder of the street.
