Appraisal
One of a terrace of four, this house, a fine representative of early nineteenth-century domestic architecture, has an elegant door surround which enlivens its otherwise simple form, and is mirrored along the terrace. The ornate fanlight is a particularly striking feature, adding an artistic touch to the house. The basement area with vault is an interesting survival.
