Appraisal
This modest house shares a parapet height and fenestration pattern with its neighbours to the north, contributing to the horizontal aspect of the streetscape. It has a regularity of design and proportion which is characteristic of Georgian domestic architecture, and is enlivened by the retention of salient features such as timber sash windows, doorcase and most notably, a spoked fanlight which provides artistic interest.
