Appraisal
Built as one of a pair, this handsome building has been maintained with respect to its original character. Arranged in the typical house over pub style, the structure's design displays textural variation in the different treatment of walling to each elevation, the finest to the front and the most basic to the rear. Located close the river, this premises would have been within the nucleus of commercial activity on the quayside.
