Appraisal
This terraced house, facing onto the square, is in keeping with the architectural tone of the area. It is a handsome building and retains many features of note. The delicately-designed fanlight is a particularly attractive element and is complimented by the block-and-start doorway. The timber shopfront, with slim pilasters and double doors with bolection-moulded panels is a fine example of Victorian design. The house is part of an architecturally-impressive terrace with a prominent street-front location.
