Appraisal
Despite alteration and extension, this well-proportioned building retains a great deal of its historic character and form. Built as a pair with the adjoining building, it retains key features such as stone sills and an excellently executed doorcase. Together with its pair, it forms part of a significant group of large scale eighteenth century houses located on the south side of the main street. The neighbouring building could be used as a template in the restoration of this building's traditional features.
