Appraisal
A well-proportioned substantial house, which retains most of its original form and massing, together with substantial quantities of the early fabric, and which incorporates a later rendered shopfront of some artistic design significance. However, the remodelled openings to the ground floor have not had a positive impact on the overall appearance of the house. Nevertheless, the house remains an imposing and important component of the streetscape, rising above the surrounding houses in the terrace.
