Pitched (shared) roof with replacement artificial slate, c.1980, clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings (some in bipartite arrangement) with stone sills. 1/1 timber sash windows with replacement timber casement windows, c.1980, to ground floor. Square-headed door opening with moulded rendered surround, and replacement glazed timber door, c.1980. Road fronted on elevated base with sections of shared wrought iron railings to front on random rubble stone plinth.
Appraisal
A picturesque, modest-scale house, built as one of a pair (with 22816083/WD-26-16-83), incorporating distinctive features, including bipartite window openings, which enhance the architectural quality of the site. Although some important early fittings and materials survive intact, the external expression of the house has been compromised by some inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms an attractive element of the townscape, occupying a raised site with sections of early wrought iron railings providing a boundary on a rubble stone base.
