Appraisal
This house, built as one of a group of four houses, is a fine and attractive small-scale building that retains most of its original character – the house is of social interest as an early example of a small-scale residential development in the locality. The house retains many important original or early features and materials, including a glazed timber panelled door, multi-pane timber sash fenestration to the half-dormer attic, and a slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods and decorative cresting to the ridges. The square-headed integral carriageway to left ground floor distinguishes the house in the group, and retains early timber boarded double doors. The house is of importance for its contribution to the streetscape of Main Street, continuing the established streetline of the terrace, while adding incident to the roofline through the presence of gabled half-dormer attic windows.
