Appraisal
A modest terraced former house forming part of an extensive terrace occupying the entire north side of Lower Hartstonge Street. While many external features have been replaced, the original façade composition, door surround and railings remain intact. Together with the remainder of the terrace, this house presents an original aspect to this intact streetscape.
