Appraisal
This fine Georgian terrace was built in 1780 as part of the planned town by the Earl of Kingston for his retainers, and incorporates many typical neo-classical features of the period, such as symmetry and fanlights. This house has retained much of its early character and charm, in the limestone doorcase with its fine timber panelled door, and the varied tripartite timber sash windows.
