Appraisal
This house has several interesting features, most notably its crenellated double-height bay windows which enliven the façade. These crenellations are echoed in the render block-and-start surrounds to the ground floor windows. The house retains notable features such as the timber sliding sash windows, which add to the architectural significance of the house. The form and symmetrical façade are characteristic features of houses of this era.
