Appraisal
This house, built as part of a small group of five houses (including 11802023, 5/KD-05-02-23, 5) and a larger group including further examples to Connaught Street (11802037 - 9/KD-05-02-37 - 9)), has been well-maintained and presents an early aspect. The house is of social and historic interest, representing an early housing development in the locality, probably sponsored by the local authority. Of picturesque appearance, the house is distinguished by the juxtaposition of roughcast with red brick dressings, and the unusual profile to the roof. The house retains some of its original features and materials, yet the replacement fenestration does not contribute positively to the original integrity of the design and adds a blank quality to the front (north-east) elevation. Fronting directly on to the road, the house is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Church Lane, continuing the established streetline and roofline of the street and introducing the corner leading to Mill Lane to south-west.
