Appraisal
Having been restored retaining most of the elementary composition with many of the replacement fittings and materials alluding to the historic models a pleasant modest-scale house contributes positively to the character of the streetscape. The house remains of additional importance in the locality for the historic associations with the adjacent almshouse (12323021/KK-32-23-21).
