A house of the middle size built as one of a group of five related units (remainder in group not included in survey) known as the Clarence Buildings after William Henry (1765-1837), Duke of Clarence and later King William IV (1830-7), possibly having connections with nearby Clarence House (see 15503135). Having been reasonably well maintained, the house remains as one of the last in the group to present an early aspect with the elementary composition attributes surviving in place together with much of the historic or original fabric, thereby upholding some of the character or integrity of the collective ensemble in the streetscape.
