Statement of Interest

The original cottage was probably one storey high, however it was extended in 1876 to a 2-storey dwelling house. The windows were given raised margins, whereas the ground floor only has projecting cills. The timpany gable contains a dated plaque showing the renovation date, not the original date of the building (the house at No 107 received similar treatment in 1877). The original elevation would have had two doors to the ground floor, but the left-hand door has been infilled, to the detriment of the symmetry.
