Appraisal
A house of the middle size retaining the elementary composition attributes to the upper floors together with most of the historic fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior including later dressings displaying good quality traditional craftsmanship producing an elegant Classical theme forming a stylistic link with further houses nearby (see 15503045, 77), and so on. However, further alteration works have not had a beneficial impact on the character or external expression of the house at street level.
