Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house built as one of a group of eleven identical units (including 15505063, 65 - 66) forming part of a larger ensemble alongside contemporary (1873-6) developments (including 15505056) producing a modest streetscape quality in King Street Upper. Having been reasonably well maintained, the house continues to present an early aspect with the elementary form and massing surviving in place together with much of the historic fabric, thereby making a positive contribution to the character of the street scene.
