Appraisal
The form and scale of this modest terrace is characteristic of middle-class residential suburban development at the time. Features such as timber sash windows add a patina of age, while the shared fenestration arrangement provides a pleasing sense of continuity. Some well-executed doorcases add interest to the terrace, and the fanlights are particularly noteworthy.
