Appraisal
An elegantly-proportioned house, built as one of a pair (with 22809011/WD-21-09-11), which retains its original form and massing, together with much of the original fabric. An important survival is the shopfront to ground floor, which is of considerable artistic design merit, and which enhances the visual appeal of the composition at street level. However, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the window openings detract from the external appearance of the composition. The house, together with the second in the pair, forms an attractive feature of formal appearance on the streetscape.
