Appraisal
The form of this house is enhanced by the decorative detailing surrounding the ground floor windows and stone and rendered chimneystack. Much of the original fabric survives including the internal shutters to the windows and the unusual bootscraper to the front steps. The decoration makes this building artistically significant.
