Appraisal
Occupying a prominent corner site traditionally known as Crokers Corner a middle-size house makes an important contribution to the streetscape values of High Street and Rose Inn Street. Despite extensive renovation works that have led to the erosion of much of the historic patina many of the original composition attributes survive intact while replacement fittings alluding to the preceding models maintain some of the integrity of the site.
