Appraisal
An elegant, middle-size house, built as one of a pair (with 22809186/WD-21-09-186), incorporating architectural features typical of the period of construction, including canted bay windows. Reasonably well maintained, the house retains its original form and fabric and, occupying a corner site, contributes significantly to the streetscape value of both Chapel Place and Park’s Road. The survival of the original outbuilding is also of importance, contributing to the group and setting qualities of the site.
