Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair, is an attractive, substantial composition of balanced proportions. However, extensive renovation works in the late twentieth century have led to the loss of most of the historic fabric, which has not had a positive impact on the external expression of the house. Nevertheless, the house, together with the second in the pair (22501321/WD-5632-21-333), remains an important component of the streetscape of John Street, the tall slender massing identifying the houses in the street.
