Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house contributing positively to an understated, almost urban vernacular quality in the streetscape of Bewley Street. Having been well maintained, the house remains as one of the last in the street to present an early aspect with much of the historic fabric surviving in place, thereby upholding some of the character of the collective street scene.
