Appraisal
A pleasant middle-size house occupying an important corner site, thereby enhancing the streetscape value of John Street Upper and Maudlin Street. Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving intact including a finely-executed shopfront enlivening the external expression of the composition at street level.
