Appraisal
This well proportioned house, built as part of a terrace, retains notable features characteristic of mid nineteenth-century domestic architecture. The house presents an early aspect with much of the original features intact including the tripartite sash windows, spoked fanlight and double-leaf doors. The house is of particular importance in the locality, having been built by John Hamilton, Esq. A pleasing gateway of simple design distinction enhances the visual appeal of the street scene.
