Central square-headed door opening with architrave surround and decorative keystone on stone plinth blocks with recessed replacement hardwood glazed door and tiled step.
Appraisal
A simple well-proportioned nineteenth-century century terraced house, enlivened by an early twentieth-century decorative render façade treatment. Although the house has lost some of its historic fabric, this unusual, almost vernacular, render detailing is unique and a significant contribution to the special character and architectural landscape of the historic town core.
