Appraisal
Sharing the form, fabric and detailing of the neighbouring terraces to a large degree, this group of houses makes an interesting contribution to the coherent character of the area. The houses are representative of the scale and form of middle-class suburban dwellings which were constructed at the turn of the century. The terrace is subtly enlivened by yellow brick to the eaves and plinth courses, and rusticated granite lintels, adding textural and visual interest to the façade. Wrought-iron railings to the front contribute to the overall character of the streetscape.
