Appraisal
An attractive, well-proportioned house, built as one of a terrace of five (with 22830150 - 151, 296, 298/WD-09-30-150 - 151, 296, 298), that is representative of a type of domestic architecture on a small scale in the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries. The construction in red brick with yellow brick dressings produces a polychromatic visual effect typical of the period, which serves to enliven the streetscape. While most of the original form and massing remains intact, the unsympathetic replacement fittings to the window openings have not had a positive impact on the external expression of the composition. The survival of simple wrought iron railings to the front enhance the historic character of the piece.
