Appraisal
Forming part of a terrace of similarly-composed houses sharing a parapet height and fenestration pattern, this house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape. The lack of symmetry is unusual, but nonetheless contributes to a pleasing facade. The variety of timber sash windows contribute to the architectural significance of the building. Although the building dates from the late eighteenth century, it may contain fabric from an earlier eighteenth-century warehouse which was sited here.
