Appraisal
A well-proportioned house, built as one of a planned terrace of six identical houses, which is representative of a component of late nineteenth-century domestic architecture, incorporating features typical of the period, including canted bay windows, and fine render detailing, which contribute to the architectural value of the composition. While the original form and massing remains intact, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not had a positive impact on the external expression of the composition. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22830100, 139, 255 - 257/WD-09-30-100, 139, 255 - 257), forms a pleasing component of the streetscape, conforming to the topography of the sloping site through the use of a stepped roofline.
