Appraisal
A modest but well-proportioned house which has lost most of its external features, with the exception of a curious doorcase, added to the front façade in the early twentieth century, and it also retains its typical coach house to the rear. The house is an integral part of this important early nineteenth-century terrace adjoining St. Peter's Church, which also forms part of a primary approach road to the town, and its presence is a positive contribution to the streetscape.
