Appraisal
This attractive house, part of a terrace along a wide, straight road, is a fine example of late-Victorian domestic architecture. The box bay and pedimented dormer window mark the end of the terrace, with fine decorative detailing such as the terracotta panels, finial and red brick mouldings enhancing the façade and adding ad artistic quality to the architecture.
