Appraisal
This handsome terraced house is one of a formally-planned group of six which stands out in the streetscape due to their delightful and unusual facades. The curved parapets suggest crenellations and the drama of the design is added to by the full-height canted bays. The contrast of render and red brick wall treatments is aesthetically pleasing and the fine cast-ironwork adds to the artistic interest.
