Appraisal
A well-proportioned house that is representative of a component of late nineteenth-century middle-size domestic architecture, incorporating features typical of the period, including canted bay windows, and fine render detailing, which enhance the architectural value of the composition. While the house retains its original form and massing, inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not enhanced the external appearance of the composition. The house, together with the remainder in the group (22830143 – 144/WD-09-30-143 – 144), forms a pleasing component of the streetscape, and conforms to the topography of the site through the use of a slightly stepped roofline.
