This modestly-scaled late Georgian house is located within the heart of the Georgian Newtown Pery and conforms to the architectural hierarchy, which presents the most grandly-scaled houses on the main thoroughfares and houses of more modest character, though no less important, to the secondary streets such as Hartstonge Street. This house forms one of a terrace of twelve houses of similar scale, massing and fenestration alignment.
