Appraisal
This terraced house forms one of a terrace of five relatively uniform terraced houses, and forms one of two which are without channel rusticated ground floor elevations on the terrace. It is compositionally united to the terrace by a shared parapet height, regular dimensions and architectural detailing. This house, forming the end-of-terrace, contrasts dramatically with the rendered two-storey neighbouring buildings the west forming the remainder of the streetscape.
