Appraisal
This house offers diversity of scale within the streetscape and its size marks it as particularly imposing. It retains interesting features, such as its elegant doorcase and fanlight, and the wrought-iron grille over the carriage arch doors. It is also enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows.
