Appraisal
Occupying an important corner site, and identified by the vertical massing rising above the flanking ranges in the terrace, this house makes a strong impression in the streetscapes of Main Street and The Green. Retaining its original balanced proportions, the external expression of the house is marred only by the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings. An important element of the composition is the attractive shopfront to ground floor, which is of special design significance.
