An attractive, modest-scale house, built as one of a planned terrace of sixteen houses that are distinguished by the construction in red brick with vitrified blue brick dressings, enhancing the architectural value of the composition. Very well maintained, the house is one of a small number in the terrace presenting an early aspect with the original form and massing intact, together with important salient features and materials. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22830101, 258 - 260/WD-09-30-101, 258 - 260), forms a pleasing component of the streetscape, conforming to the topography of the sloping site through the gradient of the shared roofline.
