Appraisal
The decreasing scale of fenestration of this modest house is indicative of its architectural design, and a typical feature of the Georgian period. Although the original windows have been lost, the overall aesthetic appeal of the building can still be discerned. Once part of a terrace of Georgian buildings, it is now isolated among predominantly Victorian buildings, and as such, provides an element of diversity to the architectural tone of the area. Its later shopfront is well maintained and provides contextual interest to the façade.
