Appraisal
This building forms part of a notable terrace with the adjoining buildings to the east and west. Built in the early nineteenth century, this former house is enlivened by the wide projecting bow. The materials utilised in the construction of the building, such as the red sandstone, grey limestone and red brick, add colour and textural interest to the streetscape. The fine doorcase, cast-iron railings and interior fittings are notable features of the building.
