Appraisal
A well-composed Classically-proportioned middle-size house contributing positively to the visual appeal of the streetscape. Despite extensive renovation works in the late twentieth century the original composition appears to survive substantially intact while attempts have been made to replicate the form and appearance of the historic fabric, thereby maintaining some of the integrity of the site.
