Appraisal
A modest-scale house featuring a traditional shopfront displaying high quality craftsmanship enhancing the visual appeal of the site at street level. However, while the retention of most of the original form and massing maintains some of the integrity of the composition the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not benefited the external expression of the site in the streetscape.
