Appraisal
An interesting late nineteenth-century terraced house, which retains much of its early form and character despite some alterations. The predominant feature of a two-storey canted bay has been accentuated through the use of fine cast-iron railings. High quality craftsmanship is also apparent in the detailing of the door surround. The late nineteenth-century character of this house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape and it forms part of an interesting terrace of buildings along the south side of Church Street.
