Appraisal
Number 583 is the easternmost building in a group of three terraced houses dating from the 1820s. Situated on the North Circular Road, the house is identical in style to many of its contemporary dwellings, and is characterized by proportions and restrained detailing typical of the period. Comprising three storeys over a basement, the brick-faced house was originally fenestrated with six-over-six pane timber sash windows. However, because of deterioration and subsequent refurbishment, they were replaced. In spite of this, the house and its neighbours contribute to the historic character of the street, retaining important streetscape features, including a railed basement well and coal hole.
