Appraisal
The simple design of this house is typical of the vernacular tradition. Apparently originally thatched, the building was reroofed and altered in 1895. Though recently reslated, it nonetheless retains much of its historic character, with the retention of features such as timber sash windows and decorative rendering adding interest. The related outbuildings add to its setting and context.
