Appraisal
Retaining most of the original composition qualities together with substantial quantities of the early fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, a middle-size house of modest architectural aspirations makes a pleasing impression on the aesthetic appeal of Market Street. A finely-detailed shopfront of artistic design merit displaying high quality craftsmanship further enhances the street presence of the site at street level.
