Appraisal
This modest terraced house is enlivened by its simple but finely-executed moulded decoration, particularly the roll-mouldings to windows and door openings. The canted bays add symmetry and elegance to the design, with the oculus adding a further point of interest to the house. Retaining much original fabric, it is a fine example of late nineteenth-century domestic architecture.
