Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair (and possibly originally part of a larger group of identical houses), has been sympathetically renovated in the late twentieth century retaining many original features and materials, with replacement materials installed that are in keeping with the original integrity of the design. The house retains important early multi-pane timber sash fenestration and timber fittings to the door opening – the exposed rubble stone construction to the latter forms an unusual surround, although the continued exposure to the elements may have a negative impact on the wall fabric and timber fittings. The house forms a neat group with its neighbouring building immediately to left (south; 11903054/KD-05-03-54) and is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Mill Street.
