Appraisal
This imposing house and commercial premises is part of a terrace of similar buildings, all with good quality limestone walling. This house is enhanced by the retention of features such as timber sash windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. Built at the same time and by the same developer as its neighbours, it has significant aesthetic quality in a busy commercial street.
