Appraisal
This attractive house along, with its neighbour, has retained most of its original features and presents a rather unique aspect to the front site. The scalloped metal weather-hung tiling is quite rare and of significant technical interest. The house forms one of a row of late Victorian and Edwardian houses on Clancy's Strand, which together enhance Clancy's Strand architectural significance.
