This mid-sized early Victorian townhouse forms part of a terrace of seven similar houses on the west side of Seville Place. Retaining its original windows, ironmongery and overall appearance, this Victorian residence makes a marked contribution to the residential character of the street. It contributes to the relatively well-presented appearance of this terrace, which matches the scale and height of the Georgian terrace on the opposite side of the street.
