The house, together with the further houses in the terraces), is of social and historical significance, representing an early medium-scale residential development in the locality, and one probably originally sponsored by the local authority. The house remains in good condition, retaining important original salient features including timber sash fenestration and timber fittings to the door opening - the remaining houses in the terraces) have been much renovated over the years, leading to the loss of much of the original fabric and character, and future renovation works to those houses might use this building, together with the fittings, as a point of reference.
