Appraisal
Although in poor condition, retains much heritage fabric such as timber sash windows and notable coloured glass to the porch. Façade enlivened by simple render surrounds to small openings and porch showing evidence of conscious design. Visible from the road, adds architectural interest to the roadscape. Yard to rear with earlier house forms vernacular group, lending context to simple form and small openings of two-storey farmhouse.
