Appraisal
A fine terrace of three, which is an excellent example of the early twentieth century domestic architectural fashions. It is set back from the streetline, to allow for front gardens, which would not have been possible in the city proper. The central gablet breaks up the regular form, while the render detailing, bay windows, and porch canopies unify the facade. The retention of historic features, such as the traditional joinery, render detailing, and roofing materials, adds to its character and charm.
