Appraisal
This modest vernacular house is significant as an example of a traditional style of architecture which is increasingly rare in an urban context. It retains much of its original form and fabric, its small windows and high roof-pitch more characteristic of its rural counterparts than urban dwellings. Its painted rubble stone walls would originally have been whitewashed and provide a pleasing contrast to the predominant use of red brick on the street, making this a focal point on the streetscape.
