This house, which forms part of a terrace of six uniform houses, has been well-maintained to present an original aspect with the most salient features intact. Together with the remainder of this terrace this house forms an important variation in the late Victorian, and Edwardian typologies that exist on Ennis Road and the inner suburbs of the City.
