Appraisal
This house, forming a strong group with its neighbour, remains largely intact. The decorative console brackets to the door and finely executed front railings make this an attractive building. The carriage arch, allowing access to the rear is also a notable feature. A chamfered edge to the rear of the building enabled carriages to pass freely. The intact wash house to the rear is a good remaining example of traditional ancillary domestic structures.
