Appraisal
This house, set in a mature landscape, is an interesting example of a complex building that incorporates blocks from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The later block has good render details, such as the sill course and the bow to one gable. The earlier building has, typically, a pitched roof and six-over-six pane windows, in contrast to the one-over-one pane windows and hipped roof of the later block. The incorporation of a variety of square-headed, round and elliptical-headed window openings adds to the interest of the building.
