Appraisal
A pleasant middle-scale house forming part of a self-contained group with the adjacent house to west (12314053/KK-26-14-53) on account of shared stylistic attributes including the fine rendered details enhancing the architectural design value of the composition. Although long disused the survival of an early shopfront of some artistic design aspiration together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric elsewhere contributes positively to the character of the streetscape.
