Appraisal
This attractive Victorian house forms an appealing addition to the predominantly terraced streetscape of Stapleton Place. Elegant features such as the stained glass sidelights and cast-iron railings, together with the twin canted bay windows, allow it to retain its character, while also adding a decorative quality to the house.
