Appraisal
This attractive house, forming an integral part of a formally-planned terrace, is a good example of developments in residential architecture towards the end of the nineteenth century. Brick detailing and the corniced canted-bay window are typical of architectural tastes in the late-Victorian era and fine cast-iron gates and railings, another characteristic feature, add a note of artistic interest, enhancing the building's overall appearance.
