Appraisal
A well-composed modest-scale house forming an integral component of a self-contained group enhancing the streetscape value of High Street. Distinctive attributes including the profile of the openings, the robust rendered accents, the glazing patterns to the window openings, and so on, all serve to enhance the architectural value of the composition. The retention of the original composition qualities together with most of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior maintains the positive contribution made to the character of the street scene.
