Statement of Interest

B-Group with 19-25, 4 and 6, 8 and 10, 14-18 and 2 Grove Street and 181 Morrison Street (see separate listings). This town house with its crisply rusticated ground floor is part of a small terrace development which continues south to No 18, and north to No 2 (see separate list descriptions). As with Nos 14-18, it has a basement, although the remainder of the development (Nos 2-10, even nos) does not. The building has, however, retained its original glazing at the 1st floor, and displays a fine fanlight
