Appraisal
This house is a fine and well-maintained substantial building that contributes positively to the streetscape of the village of Prosperous. Terminating a terrace of five buildings (and continuing the roof and street lines established in that group) the house is distinguished from its neighbours through the use of a variety of materials in its construction - the use of render to ground floor with red brick over is an unusual and attractive instance of polychromy in the vicinity. Composed as a symmetrical building of graceful proportions, centred about a segmental-headed door opening, the house retains much of its original character and important materials including a slate roof and early iron fittings to the door. The house is of social and historic significance, representing the early development of Prosperous as a planned village in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries.
