Appraisal
Forming part of a group of fine eighteenth century houses with the pair on Hill View to the north-west and the pair to the south-east, this group makes a noteworthy addition to the architectural heritage. It retains much of its early century character, seen particularly in the steeply pitched roof, substantial chimneystacks and slate hanging. The slate hanging is a particularly interesting features as it was once characteristic of the county but is sadly increasingly rare.
