Appraisal
This attractive former town house is an integral part of a long terrace of commercial and residential buildings located in the centre of Newcastle West. The retention of historic features including cast-iron rainwater goods, camber-headed doors and windows enliven the façade. The effective use of red brick creates a pleasing contrast against the dressed limestone fabric of the building.
