Appraisal
Built as one of a pair with its neighbour to the west, this house is an attractive addition to the streetscape. The retention of original features such as the brackets, adding an almost ornamental quality to the downpipe, and the sliding sash windows are worthy of particular note. This pair of houses add to the varied and attractive architecture found on Saint Mary's Road.
