Appraisal
This modest structure, with its late-nineteenth century shopfront, makes a positive contribution to Main Street. Its classical proportions and its varied render techniques enliven the façade, as does the timber panelled door with its simple fanlight and timber sash windows. Built as a pair with its neighbour, this terraced house forms an attractive part of the Main Street, and is an important structure in a nineteenth-century terrace.
