Appraisal
A pleasantly-composed middle-size house retaining most of the original composition attributes together with much of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a positive impression on the visual appeal of the street scene: however, a less-than-subtle remodelled opening has not benefited the external expression of the composition at street level.
