Appraisal
This house, built as a pair with its neighbour to the east, has been well-maintained and is a good example of a townhouse from the early-nineteenth-century. The retention of the timber sliding sash windows and the door with simple, yet elegant, fanlight is worthy of particular note. The pair of houses compliment one another, and create an interesting and prominent group of structures, enhancing the architectural character of the streetscape.
