Appraisal
This house is one of an elegant terrace of similar houses. A railed area to the basement provides privacy from the street, and access by a flight of steps creates an air of grandeur. High quality craftsmanship is apparent in the fanlight and sidelights. This terrace forms a significant part of the town's domestic architectural heritage and the quadrant arrangement remains of this formerly gated street.
