Appraisal
This striking yet modest house and shop has maintained its original function since the time of its construction. The regular form of the building is enhanced by the attractive shopfront. Typical of mid-nineteenth-century domestic architecture, the brick surrounds and two-over-two timber sash windows are a decorative addition to the rendered exterior. The finely-constructed outbuilding completes the setting.
