Appraisal
This house is one of a pair of houses that stand as the tallest structures on the terrace, abutted by a single-storey villa to the north. It dates from the late Georgian period and built as a result of the expansion of the city, which was brought about by the opening of the North Circular Road and the arrival of the railway. The house has had most external fabric replaced but retains its overall composition. The pair dominates the terrace and the streetscape and exhibist an early residential aspect that continues to form the character of the street.
