Appraisal
One of a pair of attractive early nineteenth-century houses, which retain their original scale and form, as well as much significant fabric. For a house of this scale, the front garden is a feature which becomes popular during this period. It is associated with a revived interest in nature and outdoor activities, not restricted to the wealthier classes.
