Appraisal
The plain façade of this classically proportioned house is enlivened by a fine pedimented doorcase and stone steps. As part of a long terrace of houses, it makes a substantial contribution to the streetscape. The retention of features such as the tooled sills, timber sash windows and cast-iron railings adds to the architectural value of the house.
