Appraisal
This house, which dates to the earliest phase of construction on the planned Main Street and which was built as one of a group of houses including the house immediately to left (south-west; 11803015/KD-05-03-15), has been relatively well-maintained and retains its original form and much of its original character. An important survival is the cut-stone doorcase to ground floor. The re-instatement of traditional-style fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance of the house. The house is of particular importance for its age and contribution to the streetscape of Main Street, continuing the established streetline of the planned street, while contributing to the regular roofline of the terrace.
