Appraisal
A well-appointed substantial house incorporating Classically-derived proportions with the diminishing in scale of the openings on each level lending an elegant formal quality to the street scene. Notwithstanding alteration works to the ground floor that have not had a positive bearing on the external expression of that portion the survival of the original composition attributes to the upper floors together with most of the early fabric significantly enhances the contribution the site makes to the character of the streetscape.
