Appraisal
This classically proportioned house is much enlivened by its fine pedimented doorcase, limestone steps and timber sliding sash windows. Its most unusual feature is its curved façade which differentiates it from its neighbours. The garden and boundary wall to the front add significantly to the setting of the house.
