Appraisal
A simple but well-proportioned red brick house, which retains its early form and character. The red brick walls, the shallow segmental-headed window openings and the moulded brick eaves course are typical of the period of construction and give this plain house a certain architectural character. This building is given greater significance by the matching building (15310121) adjacent to the west, and together these houses make a positive contribution to the streetscape.
