Appraisal
An appealing small-scale house, built as one of a pair (with 2280182/WD-21-09-182), which retains most of its original form and massing, together with some of the original features, including a distinctive feature to the box bay window that introduces an almost Oriental touch to the composition. However, the replacement fittings to the openings, together with the removal of most of the original doorcase, have not had a positive bearing on the external appearance of the house. The house, together with the second in the pair, contributes to the diversity of the streetscape quality of South Mall.
