Appraisal
A very fine, well-composed middle-size house that has been well maintained to present an early aspect. Of particular interest are the various rendered dressings throughout, including a fine pubfront, which enhance the design quality of the site, and which attest to high quality craftsmanship. The house forms an integral component of the streetscape, and contributes significantly to the visual appeal of Queen’s Street.
