Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house built as one of a group of eleven identical units (including 15505064 - 66) forming part of a larger ensemble alongside contemporary (1873-6) developments (including 15505056) producing a modest streetscape quality in King Street Upper. Although having fallen into some disrepair following a period out of use, the elementary form and massing survive in place together with most of the historic or original fabric, thereby making a positive contribution to the character of the street scene.
