Second floor framing is of regularly spaced light studs. Ground floor shop window with timber pediment, both bow-fronted.

SOURCE Typescript report by Malcolm Birdsall et al, 2003, Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE A rare survival of C16 timber- framed construction, one of 5 such survivals of the period identified in Scarborough, and one which retains much evidence of the original form of the building . Early C19 century modifications, including ground floor windows add to the special architectural interest of the building, more evidence of which has been revealed by the most recent phase of alteration.
