Appraisal
A well-composed substantial house identified in the streetscape by the vertical emphasis of the massing: the house appears to rise above the surrounding sites in the street. Very well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving intact both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby maintaining the positive contribution made to the historic flavour of the streetscape.
