Appraisal
Despite the loss of substantial quantities of the original fabric the elementary form and massing of a pleasantly-composed house remain intact, thereby maintaining some of the integrity of the composition. Decorative details including an elegantly-executed doorcase together with a fine shopfront of artistic design merit significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of the site while making a important positive visual impression in the street scene at street level.
