Appraisal
This picturesque house is one of twenty built by Cairne's Trust of Cairne's Brewery, to house workers. This charming structure displays fine craftsmanship in its design and decoration. The canopy is a particularly striking feature to this pleasantly-sited terrace as are the timber casement windows which are worthy of note.
