Appraisal
With 16003119 a solid and notable early-Victorian pair of houses. The irregularly sized window panes are an interesting feature, with narrow panes forming a margin around larger ones. The retention of much fabric such as the windows, roof slates and railings gives a pleasing patina of age and creates a textural contrast to the smooth render.
