Appraisal
This house retains its early form and character, and brick detailing which provides decorative interest. It shares window and door opening proportions with neighbouring houses, resulting in a coherent streetscape. The front garden boundary remains 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 stylistically similar houses.
