Appraisal
This is a good example of a terraced town house of the late-nineteenth century. As part of a coherent group, strategicallly located opposite the Town Hall, it is of considerable significance. An unusual feature is the survival of two metal doorbell pulls which, together with the fine fanlight, add to the character of the building.
