This house, built as one of a group of three identical terraced houses, despite substantial alterations to the ground floor retains much of its original form to the upper floors. Sympathetically restored, the building incorporates features modelled on the original fittings, which contributes to the historic quality of the streetscape. The house, together with the remaining houses in the group (22501059 – 60/WD-5632-21-165 – 6), is an important component of the streetscape, forming the corner linking Broad Street with Arundel Lane.
