Appraisal
A handsome terrace that is an excellent example of the high quality houses built for the middle class in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the expanding city suburbs. Characteristic of the time, the terrace is set back from the streetline to allow for front gardens, which are defined by well executed boundaries with wrought-iron railings set on red brick and cut stone plinths. The houses retain much of their historic fabric and features, including timber panelled doors with glazed screens, timber sliding sash windows, gabled dormer windows and moulded brick detail.
