Appraisal
This building adds both character and variation to the village. Set perpendicular to the streetscape, and displaying a basement level, it is a notable addition to the surrounding area. The chamfered corner and hipped roof mark it out from its neighbours. Though some historic fabric has been lost, it retains much of its character and charm.
