Appraisal
The simple form of this house is enlivened by subtle red brick detailing, which is testament to the skill and craftsmanship of brick workers in the later decades of the nineteenth century. Rebuilt sections of the wall suggest that perhaps some windows have replaced earlier, larger openings. A glazed tiled star provides decorative interest.
