Appraisal
Superseding but retaining the fabric of an earlier counterpart on site a picturesque small-scale house is enlivened by attributes including the proportionate configuration of the openings including elegant glazing patterns, fine detailing including crested iron work, and so on, all of which enhance the architectural value of the composition. A very fine shopfront of artistic design importance displaying good craftsmanship makes an indispensable contribution to the aesthetic value of the site at street level.
