Appraisal
This handsomely-proportioned house stands out from its neighbours for its greater height and width as well as for the degree of modulation of the façade with its interplay of projecting bays of different shapes and plans. Fine terracotta detailing and the stained glass sidelight is of artistic interest and a variety of different window openings also adds to the architectural complexity of the building, a notable feature of the streetscape.
