Appraisal
This terrace displays a regularity of design and proportion in the even arrangement of fenestration and doorcases, and is characteristic of domestic architecture of this era. Some timber sash windows are retained, contributing to the patina of age and enhancing the character of the composition. Polychrome brick and moulded brick detailing is used to good effect to articulate and enliven the façade, adding textural and tonal variation.
