Appraisal
This house is a good example of picturesque-style housing from the early nineteenth century. The lattice fenestration adds much to its character and charm. It may relate to the almshouses in the village which were built with similar detailing by the Colthurst-Barts. Historic mapping indicates that there was once a terrace of three on the site.
