Appraisal
This house maintains the parapet height of its neighbour to the north, and creates a pleasing stepped roofline with the taller buildings to the north. It retains salient features such as timber sash windows, which contribute to its architectural significance, and scrolled consoles attest to the skill and craftsmanship which was incorporated in the construction of even the more modest nineteenth-century townhouses.
