Appraisal
Situated within an area of recent redevelopment, this attractive house, with its unusual asymmetrical façade, retains much of its historic form and character through the retention of key features including sash windows, a fine slate roof and well executed rubble stone walls. Unusual timber lintels to window and door openings further distinguish this fine building from its surrounds.
