Appraisal
This pair of houses retains its original from and massing, together with most of its original fabric and forms an appealing component of the streetscape. The polychromatic brick to the chimneystacks adds an attractive burst of colour while the balcony and box bay add to the building's impact in the streetscape. The addition of a balcony and access door at first floor level are unusual features and create a sense of grandeur to an otherwise simple urban house.
