Appraisal
When compared with the majority of houses within Skull, this building shows variation in form with an irregular arrangement of openings that includes a former display window to the ground floor, an indication that the building was formerly also in commercial use. Its eye-catching form, apparent history of use and retention of historic features such as window and door materials, ensure that this house continues to make a positive contribution to the local streetscape.
