Appraisal
An appealing, substantial house of balanced Classical proportions, which retains most of its original form and massing, together with a range of important salient features and materials, and which contributes considerably to the historic quality of the locality. The slate hanging to the rear (north-east) elevation in particular forms an attractive feature in the streetscape.
