Appraisal
This large and impressive house retains many of its typically Georgian style features. While its steeply pitched roof suggests and eighteenth century date, the fine doorcase is probably an early nineteenth century insertion. Its unusual four-storey bowed bay to the rear distinguishes this building when seen from the rear.
