Appraisal
This former shop with residential space upstairs once formed part of a terrace of Georgian buildings, but is now isolated amongst more recent structures and thus brings some diversity to the area. Brickwork is used to good effect to enliven the façade, in the quoins and window surrounds, but most notably in the fluted capitals to the columns. The building has been well maintained, with salient features such as timber sash windows and its shopfront intact.
