Appraisal
A pleasant middle-size house of informal appearance on account of the seemingly-random distribution of the openings. Subtle details including the vermiculated panels contribute to the architectural design value of the composition while the combination of red and yellow brick in the chimney stacks introduces a touch of polychromy to an otherwise sombre composition. Presenting an early aspect with the essential attributes intact together with most of the original fabric the house enhances the historic quality of the streetscape while an attendant outbuilding contributes attractively to the group and setting values of the site.
