Appraisal
This house forms one of a pair of group of similar semi-detached houses erected on John's Place and John's Terrace. As one of a pair of semi-detached buildings, this house retains many original features of both fabric and design. The interesting and decorative five-over-two timber sash windows with keystones and ogee horns add interest to the fenestration. The stylised door surround with stained glass fanlight mirroring the stained glass panels within the door add an extra artistic flourish to this structure.
