Appraisal
One of a terrace, this modest house is an integral part of the streetscape of Chapel Street. Its unimposing façade is greatly enhanced by the decorative petal fanlight and attractive door surround. Further interest is added by the intricate window guard, making an elegant example of early-nineteenth-century domestic architecture.
