Appraisal
The rhythmical fenestration, attractive stucco detailing with decorative keystones and label stops combine to make this a very charming terrace at the intersection of Church Street and Bridge Street. The addition of the tiled shopfront with mosaic threshold is a colourful addition to Church Street and the retention of panelled doors, timber sash windows and carriage arch ensures that this terrace retains much of its character.
