Appraisal
An elegantly-appointed Classically-proportioned middle-size house built as one of a pair (with 12001051/KK-4766-14-51) contributing positively to the refined quality of the streetscape. A finely-carved Gibbsian doorcase displaying high quality stone masonry enhances the formal architectural design value of the composition while an additional door opening bears witness to later origins through the lack of fine detailing to the stone work. Despite some alteration works to the ground floor the house presents an early aspect retaining the original attributes to the upper floors together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making an important impression on the character of the street scene.
