Appraisal
An attractive house of small-scale proportions, which retains its original form and character, together with many important salient features and materials. A small-scale outbuilding of vernacular form and appearance enhances the historic quality of the site, and suggests that the house at one time operated as a forge, a suggestion supported by the retention of a cast-iron horse tether to the site. Built as one of a terrace of six identical houses (with 22803008 - 12/WD-08-03-08 - 12), the house is the last in the group to retain substantial quantities of the original fabric, and thereby contributes significantly to the appearance of Carrick Road, forming an integral component of a low-lying streetscape.
