Appraisal
This attractive former town house is an integral part of a long terrace of commercial and residential buildings located in the centre of Newcastle West. The retention of historic features including cast-iron rainwater goods, an elliptical-headed doorway and the effective use of red brick creates a pleasing contrast against the dressed limestone façade, helping to preserve the building's historic character and enliven the façade.
