Appraisal
A well-composed substantial house, built as one of a terrace of four houses (with 22821139 - 40, 42/WD-31-21-139 – 40, 42), which retains most of its original form and early fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior. However, the gradual replacement of the fittings to the window openings with inappropriate modern articles threatens the historic character of the site. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms an appealing feature of formal appearance in the streetscape of Church Street.
