Appraisal
This end of terrace house was built as part of a terrace of six along Cross Street and McDonald’s Lane. The terrace is unusual as it turns a corner at McDonald's Lane, making it quite distinctive. The building has further significance as the only one to retain its original timber sash windows. The well executed and finely carved limestone façade is representative of fine craftsmanship.
