Appraisal
This well-preserved building forms a very attractive set-piece with its adjoining property and is of importance in maintaining the varied character of this streetscape. As an individual structure it displays very fine detailing and the use of finely-moulded terracotta panels, very characteristic of architectural tastes at the turn of the twentieth century, is of some artistic note, as are the handsome cast-iron railings.
