Appraisal
This terrace shares a fenestration alignment and roofline, as well as form and materials with many of its neighbouring buildings, making a positive contribution to the continuity of the streetscape. Canted bays to the front create a balanced, symmetrical façade, which is enhanced by centrally-placed paired door openings. Moulded red brick and terracotta mouldings are used to decorative effect, articulating and enlivening the façade. The houses in this area typify the continued development of suburban residential areas outside of the city centre in the nineteenth and into the twentieth century. This terrace is listed as ‘Sunridge Terrace’ on the third edition Ordnance Survey map.
