Appraisal
A well-appointed substantial house contributing to the elegant formal quality of the streetscape on account of attributes including the balanced arrangement of the openings together with the applied rendered dressings in the Classical manner, all of which enliven the architectural design value of the composition. Having been successfully converted to an alternative use without adversely affecting the historic integrity of the composition the house makes a positive impression on the aesthetic appeal of High Street.
