Appraisal
This terraced house retains its original form complete with decorative architectural elements such as the dormer windows and limestone voussoirs to ground floor openings. Features such as the timber sash windows help to preserve the original appearance of the building, which makes a positive contribution to the streetscape. The terrace was originally a scheme for six houses designed by the architects Clifford Smith and Newenham.
