Camber-headed window openings (square-headed window openings to rear (west) elevation having one round-headed window opening to top floor) with cut-limestone sills (on corbels to first floor), cut-limestone surrounds including block-and-start surrounds to ground floor having stringcourse to spring of arch, flush pilaster surrounds to first floor rising to 'pediments', blocked surrounds to top floor (no dressings to rear (west) elevation), and two-over-two timber sash windows having replacement uPVC casement windows to rear (west) elevation. Camber-headed door opening with cut-limestone step, cut-limestone block-and-start surround, and timber panelled door having overlight. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
An elegantly-composed middle-size house identified in the streetscape on account of the vertical emphasis of the massing rising above the flanking ranges in the terrace. Camber-headed openings framed by subtly varied cut-limestone surrounds further enhance the architectural significance of the composition. Having been well maintained the house presents an early character with substantial quantities of the original fabric surviving intact, thereby contributing positively to the visual appeal of the street scene.
