Appraisal
This house is one of a pair of houses, whose modest grandeur is accentuated by the continuous line of cast-iron ridge crestings and façades of balanced proportions. This building is the most intact of the pair, retaining its timber sash windows, ornate fanlight and sidelights which help to preserve the original character of the site.
