Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house of modest, almost vernacular quality making a pleasing impression on the appearance of the streetscape. Attractive details including the glazing pattern to the window openings enhance the architectural value of the composition. Although now long disused the house presents an early aspect with most of the composition attributes in place together with an appealing shopfront of some artistic design merit displaying good carpentry.
