Appraisal
This house, one of a terrace of ten identical units, is an attractive range that has been very well maintained to retain its original aspect. The use of rubble stone with rendered dressings in the construction produces an attractive textured effect. The house is distinguished in the terrace by its position set slightly forward from the remainder of the group, forming an advanced end bay to the terrace. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22828002/WD-09-28-02), forms part of an attractive set piece in the streetscape of Griffith Place, the surviving wrought iron railings emphasising the historic quality of the group.
