Appraisal
A well-composed Classically-proportioned middle-size house forming an important element of the street scene of West Street. Rendered dressings including the hood mouldings introducing a muted Tudor tone to the composition enhance the architectural design value of the site while a boundary screen displaying high quality stone masonry together with early surviving iron ware maximises on the pleasing street presence of the site. The retention of substantial quantities of the historic fabric both to the exterior and to the interior maintains the historic integrity of a composition forming a neat self-contained group with an adjacent range of similar vintage (12314019/KK-26-14-19).
