Appraisal
This terrace retains much of its early form, fabric, and character. The bay windows and rounded door openings articulate each house. It shares many construction materials with neighbouring terraces, resulting in a coherent streetscape. The front garden boundaries are largely intact, maintaining the early suburban character of the street. This area was developed by private developers building small groups of houses at a time, and the proceeds from one group were used to finance the construction of the next section of terrace. As a result, there are pleasing variations in the street of stylistically similar houses.
