Appraisal
A charming house, typical of the Victorian penchant for the picturesque. The gabled motif, seen in the projecting bay, porch and dormers is accentuated by the carved timber bargeboards. It retains much of its historic fabric, including timber sliding sash windows, timber doors, limestone steps and clay chimney pots which add to it character and charm. The fine outbuildings are well maintained and contribute to its setting and context.
