Appraisal
With the exception of a generic replacement shopfront of little inherent design interest, a modest-scale house expressing understated architectural design ambitions retains the original form and massing together with most of the historic or original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a beneficial contribution to the streetscape aesthetic or character of South Street.
