Appraisal
A well-balanced, modest-scale house incorporating a fine rendered shopfront of artistic design quality. Well maintained, the house presents an early aspect with important salient features and materials intact. The house forms an integral component of the streetscape, and contributes to the historic character of Chapel Street.
