Appraisal
This house, which was apparently built to house officers from the local barracks, makes a strongly symmetrical composition with its, narrower, two-bay neighbour. It has richly moulded brickwork friezes at the ground floor bay and first floor eaves and two very distinctive flat-roofed dormers. The cast-iron panelled ornamental railings are also of interest.
