Appraisal
An attractive, small-scale house, built as one of a terrace of four identical units (with 22803067 – 69/WD-08-03-67 – 69). Subtle detailing, including red brick dressings to the openings, serves to enliven the architectural design quality of the composition, while the gablets provide incident to the roofline. However, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not had a positive impact on the external expression of the house. Nevertheless, the house, together with the remainder of the terrace, forms a pleasant feature in the streetscape, and contributes to the visual appeal of the locality.
