Statement of Interest

This house was built as an extension to Hillside, 4 Forthill Road which had already been extended to what is now St Margaret's, 1 Hill Street (both houses listed separately). There are also unexecuted drawings by Mills and Shepherd for a billiard room to the north. Low rubble wall at S has unsympathetic block addition.
