Appraisal
An elegantly-composed middle-size house retaining most of the original form and massing despite having undergone an extensive renovation programme in the late twentieth century. Fine Classically-derived rendered dressings exhibiting high quality craftsmanship enhance the architectural design value of the composition while the retention of substantial quantities of the early fabric to the upper floors maintains the character of the site, thereby contributing to the positive impression made in an historic street scene.
