Appraisal
This modestly designed but well proportioned house, situated on Compton Row, is enhanced by the retention of original features and fabric including the early nineteenth-century six-over-six timber sash windows. The classically styled door surround with the engaged Ionic columns is a noteworthy feature, adding to the house's visual appeal while and making a positive contribution to the streetscape.
