Appraisal
This house was built as part of a terrace of identical houses on Seatown Place. They form an attractive group of structures, playing a positive role in the streetscape. No. 24 Seatown Place has retained many of its original materials and features such as timber sliding sash windows, door, fanlight, boot scraper and decorative cast-iron railings, which add to the character of the structure enlivening the façade and increasing the architectural value of the structure.
