An attractive small-scale house incorporating distinctive attributes including the Wyatt-style tripartite window openings contributing to the Classical architectural value of the composition distinguishing the site in the streetscape. Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the original composition qualities in place together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric including a finely-crafted early shopfront of considerable artistic design interest incorporating a distinctive fascia comparable with further frontages nearby (12317018, 64, 7, 77/KK-28-17-18, 64, 7, 77).
