Appraisal
Part of a five building terrace, this building and its neighbours make an imposing group in the streetscape. Comprising a handsome design of central three-bay block flanked by lower pairs of two-bay houses, it is an notable architectural piece. The finely executed stone work and render detailing articulate the terrace. Though some historic fabric has been replaced, it retains notable original features including cast-iron railings, timber sliding sash windows and slate roofs. It is thought to have formally functioned as a military barracks in the nineteenth century.
