Appraisal
This modestly-scaled terraced late Georgian townhouse forms one of a terrace of houses. They retain the original front site basement area treatment, round-arched front doors and uniform parapet levels. This structure, No. 12, is distinguished by its level of intactness as it retains a fine radiating fanlight, timber sash windows, brick-facing and lime mortar pointing.
