Appraisal
A modest terraced house of early nineteenth-century appearance, which retains much of its early form and character. Possibly originally built as a single structure with its neighbour adjacent to the south (13002256). This building is unusual in an urban context in that the ground floor does not have a later shopfront inserted. It retains much character and interesting fabric despite some alteration, and contributes positively to the architectural variety of the streetscape. Significant in its own right, and also as one of a pair.
