Appraisal
This house is worthy of note due to its simplicity and classical proportions which are enlivened by the preservation of timber sliding sash windows and an original doorway. This house is one of a semi-detached pair which forms an elegant landmark in the streetscape, with its balanced proportions of the building, combined with its siting and attractive boundary.
