Appraisal
A well-composed middle-size house, built as one of a pair (with 22816117/WD-26-16-117), which has been very well maintained to present an early aspect with most of the original form and fabric intact. The house, together with the second in the pair, forms an attractive element of Upper Branch Road, and contributes significantly to the visual appeal of the streetscape.
