Built as a pair with the adjoining house, these houses would appear to be the first two of a terrace which was never completed. This house has made use of its end-of-terrace site, with the addition of a delightful double bowed front. Retaining much of its historic fabric and features, it is a notable contributor to the architectural heritage, due to its roadside proximity.
