Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with cut-stone padstones, and replacement timber panelled door, post-1996, having overlight. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
A pleasant house of modest size built as one of a pair (second in pair not included in survey) contributing positively to the streetscape value of Bride Street with attributes establishing a simple design aesthetic including the slender vertical thrust of the massing, the diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a tiered visual effect, and so on. Having been well maintained, the house continues to project an early aspect with much of the historic fabric surviving in place, thus upholding the impression made on the character of the street scene.
