Appraisal
A well-composed house of modest architectural aspirations occupying a cramped site at the junction of Market Street and Low Street. Although now apparently disused the house has been historically well maintained to present an early aspect with the original composition qualities surviving intact together with most of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a pleasant contribution to the visual appeal of an historic street scene.
