Appraisal
An early twentieth-century house, which was built on the site of an earlier structure, and probably incorporates fabric of that building to the rear. The character, form and fabric of the building have been largely retained. It is an interesting addition to the architectural heritage, as few country houses were built in the early twentieth century. The outbuildings and gate lodge compliment its setting.
