Appraisal
A finely detailed house, part of a terrace of four, built in a stripped classical idiom, with a distinctive appearance. It retains most of its original fabric, the horizontal pane sliding sash windows to the rear are particularly significant as the only original windows surviving on the terrace. The terrace is a fine example of mid-twentieth century domestic architecture and as part of a similarly styled and well maintained terrace form an attractive and architecturally interesting ensemble on Station Road.
