Appraisal

This mid-terraced house is a typical exponent of late Victorian domestic terraced architecture, with the use of hard-edged machine made red brick, moulded red brick surrounds, and the use of quite ornate cast-iron railings, which are designed to mimic wrought-iron. Except for the altered basement window opening the overall condition appears satisfactory and the house contributes positively to the architectural character of the terrace.
