Appraisal
This is an appealing, modest scale house, which was originally two distinct structures. The houses retain their early form and massing, together with much of the original fabric, which enhances the character of the site. The steeply pitched slate roof adds to the character of the site and helps conserve its original appearance. Other features of note include the shopfronts, which add further interest to the façades.
