Appraisal
This house is of particular interest due to the clues evident in its front elevation which hint at the notion that the north bay was once part of number 16. The location of the chimneystack at the centre of the ridge also suggest this alteration. The narrow entrance door and wide carriage arch add to the character of the terrace and its important location opposite the Town Hall. What appears to be the original panelled entrance door survives.
