Appraisal
Forming part of a modest yet attractive pair, this building retains its simple balanced proportions. It is an integral component of the streetscape and occupies a notable crossroads site. The render detailing highlights the form by employing a contrasting interplay of smooth and roughcast renders. The attractive paired sash windows is an architectural element of particular note.
