Appraisal
The scale and form of this group makes a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. The houses are representative of the architectural design and materials employed for domestic buildings in the latter decades of the nineteenth century, with the use of red brick adding colour and textural interest to the urban landscape, while the retention of some timber sash windows and well-composed doorcases contribute to the character of the facades.
