Appraisal
This is a handsome and well proportioned former house, retaining its original stone façade and well-executed fenestration with fine Georgian-style diminishing windows. Its simple but well executed limestone doorcase with delicate fanlight provide a decorative focus and the retention of its small-paned timber sash windows enhance its architectural value. The attractive boot scrape and niche is another interesting feature as is the crow's foot benchmark.
