Appraisal
A pleasantly-composed modest-scale house making a distinct impression in the streetscape of High Street on account of inventive features including the Classically-detailed oriel window enhancing the architectural design value of the composition. Notwithstanding extensive renovation works in the late twentieth century the house retains some of the early fabric while a replacement shopfront incorporates fine detailing appropriate to the character of the composition.
