Appraisal
This house, built as one of a pair (and possibly originally part of a larger group of identical houses), has been extensively renovated in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original fabric. Nevertheless, the original from remains intact to the most part, with a remodelled window opening to left ground floor now forming part of the historic fabric of the house, providing early evidence of the commercialisation of Mill Street. Probably originally rendered, the now-exposed rubble stone construction is a distinguishing feature of the streetscape, although prolonged exposure to the elements may have a negative impact on the structure. Replacement materials have been installed in keeping with the original integrity of the building, including a natural slate roof and timber windows, and the house forms a neat and attractive group with its neighbouring building immediately to right (north; 11803055/KD-05-03-55).
