Description
Terraced three-bay two-storey house, c.1870. Renovated and refenestrated, c.1995, with three-bay single-storey projecting bay added along front (west) elevation. One of a group of four. Pitched (shared) slate roof with red clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Hipped red clay tile roof to projecting bay with chamfered corners to tiles, red clay ridge tiles, and uPVC rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls with rendered channelled pier to end. Square-headed window openings (originally in bipartite arrangement to outer bays) with rendered sills, and with rendered hood mouldings over removed, c.1995. Replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1995. Square-headed door opening with glazed uPVC panelled door, sidelights, and overlights.

Appraisal
A well-proportioned middle-size house, built as one of a pair (with 22821004/WD-31-21-04) forming part of a small-scale group of four houses (with 22821003, 6/WD-31-21-03, 06). Incorporating inventive architectural features, including bipartite window openings, some of the original character has been lost through the replacement of the original fenestration with inappropriate modern articles, while items of fine detailing, including the rendered hood mouldings, have also been removed. However, the house remains an important component of the street scene of Strand Side South, while the survival of the original cast-iron railings to the forecourt enhances the visual appeal of the site.
