Appraisal
This house retains much of its Victorian form and character and subtle brick detailing which adds decorative interest to the front elevation. The front garden boundary remains largely intact, maintaining the early suburban character of the streetscape. The South Circular Road was laid out in the late eighteenth century to relieve congestion to the city centre and improve access. This portion of the road was not fully developed until a century later when large tracts of land became available following the sale of the Greenville demesne in the 1870s.
