Appraisal
A well-balanced middle-size house presenting an early aspect in Market Street on account of sympathetic restoration works that have sought to retain the original composition qualities together with substantial quantities of the early fabric including a finely-crafted early shopfront of considerable artistic design interest incorporating a distinctive fascia comparable with further frontages nearby (12317016, 64, 7, 77/KK-28-17-16, 64, 7, 77).
