Appraisal
The scale and form of this building make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. The irregular façade of the building, with the gabled northern bay, mansard roof and round-headed dormers, is of apparent architectural form and design. The building is articulated by the variety of render finishes and is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and slate roof.
