Appraisal
This simple building presents a restrained façade to the street, with its classical character further complemented and enhanced by the retention of the timber sliding sash windows, sills, round-headed door opening and indeed the cast-iron rainwater goods. This wide variety of features adds to the patina of age and character of the structure. Its setting is considerably enhanced by the retention of the front garden with its cast-iron railings and gate.
