Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house built as one of a group of ten identical units (including 15505038 - 39) producing a modest streetscape quality in Bride Street with the stepped roofline corresponding with or following the slight gradient in the street. Having been well maintained, the house remains as one of the last in the group to present an early aspect with substantial quantities of the historic or original fabric surviving in place, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding some of the character or integrity of the collective ensemble in the street scene.
