Appraisal
This terrace retains its early form and character, and fabric including timber sash windows, timber doorcase and cast-iron railings. Subtle brick detailing provides decorative interest while the bay windows articulate each house. The front garden boundaries remain intact, contributing to the early suburban character of the street. This area was developed by private developers who built 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 similar houses.
