A well composed house of modest to middle size retaining the simple architectural design attributes together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior including an early twentieth-century shopfront of artistic design interest displaying good quality traditional craftsmanship, thereby making a positive contribution to the streetscape aesthetic of Quay Street.
