A pleasant modest-scale house built as one of a group of three houses (including 15605149) making a pleasing impression in Mary Street. Having been well maintained, the house continues to present an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving in place, both to the exterior and to the interior including a traditional shopfront of artistic design interest displaying good quality craftsmanship making a positive contribution to the streetscape character at street level.
