Appraisal
This house has had its upper floors and roof removed and a late Victorian pub shopfront inserted. Although the house has been largely lost, the ornate ground floor is of artistic interest, with a splendid rendered cornice and spandrels, and with decorative columns. The carriage arch provides context and the building is a focal point for the local community.
