This house, which dates to the earliest phase of construction on the planned Main Street, has been substantially renovated over the years, leading to the loss of the original form to the ground floor. The original form of the openings might easily be re-instated, however, to restore a more accurate representation of the house. The house retains many important early or original features and materials, including timber sash fenestration to the first floor and slate roofs having cast-iron rainwater goods. The house is of considerable importance for its age and for continuing the established streetline of the planned street, while contributing to the regular roofline of the terrace as it proceeds to meet with the entrance to the Carton estate to north-east.
