Appraisal
This terrace retains its early form and character, and fabric including timber sash windows, timber doorcases and cast-iron railings. Subtle brick detailing adds decorative interest. Window and door opening proportions are shared with neighbouring terraces, resulting in a harmonious streetscape. The front garden boundaries remain intact, contributing to the early suburban character of the street. This area was developed by private developers who buildt 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.
