Appraisal
Part of a long terrace of fourteen houses of various dates and styles, this well maintained early twentieth-century house was built to the same design as its neighbour to the north-west. It has retained its original character through the retention of decorative render mouldings to the front elevation and porch. With its twin neighbour, this house is integral to the architectural integrity of this terrace which is in itself a significant element of the architectural heritage of this area.
