Appraisal
This modest terraced house was built as part of a group of similar structures. The predominantly red brick façade is enlivened by the limestone detailing along with the retention of original features and materials. The cast-iron railings add a decorative touch to the simple façade, making the house is a positive addition to the architectural heritage of the area and streetscape.
