Appraisal
This house, built as one of a terrace of four identical houses, is an attractive and well-proportioned substantial composition. Comprehensively renovated in the mid to late twentieth century, the house is now without much of its original fabric although, with the exception of the door opening, the original form remains intact. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22504386 – 8/WD-5632-22-400 – 398), forms an important component of the streetscape, set back slightly from the line of the road, and the survival of the original iron railings contributes to the historic character of the group.
