Appraisal
This house on Castle Road is a fine example of domestic architecture of the late-Victorian period showing many characteristic features used during this era. Through the attractive dormer window and subtly detailed brickwork, the house contributes to the variety and texture of the terrace with fine craftsmanship evident in the decorative cast-iron railings.
