Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house, built as one of a pair (with 22816115/WD-26-16-115), which retains some of its original form and massing, together with some of the early fabric. Of particular consequence is the survival of the original fittings to ground floor, together with the rendered dressings throughout. However, extensive renovation works to the upper floors, including the addition on an indiscreet dormer attic, have not had a positive bearing on the external expression of the composition.
