Appraisal
This house, built as one of a terrace of four, is an attractive building that has been well maintained to present an early aspect. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace, is of social and historical interest, attesting to the continued development of the suburbs of Newbridge in the late nineteenth century with substantial dwellings intended for the prosperous merchant or professional class. The decorative use of render is a distinguishing feature of the house, giving the impression of stone work, while the house is dominated by a two-storey canted bay window having overhanging eaves on attractive elongated timber brackets. The house retains many important early or original salient features and materials, including timber fittings to the door opening, timber sash fenestration, and a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (11818043-5/KD-27-18-43 – 5), is an attractive and sophisticated feature on the streetscape of Edward Street
