Why it mattered

house — High Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This end of terrace house retains much of its original fabric, including timber sliding sash windows and matchboard panelled doors to the carriage arch, and stands out as a good example of the original style and character of the late nineteenth-century streetscape to which it belongs. The ruled-and-lined render detail, particularly around the door openings, as well as the impressive cast-iron railings, serve to further enhance the building. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
