Appraisal
This distinctive slate-hung house is an eye-catching structure on a narrow street. A sense of proportion given by diminishing windows create a pleasing façade, enhanced by the visual appeal of slates. Its height and steeply-pitched roof also mark out this house as being of interest in this predominantly two-storey streetscape.
