The variety of render on this buidling adds textural interest to the streetscape. Of similar size and scale to surrounding structures, the house maintains the roofline of the street. The end chimneystacks add symmetry to the façade, as also articulated by the render detailing. The chimneystacks contribute too to the decorative emphasis of the structure. The double shopfront is unusual, comprising the entire width of the ground floor, making a strong impression on the Cappamore streetscape.
