Appraisal
An eye-catching pair of buildings which makes a handsome roadside group. The tall gabled fronted block has much of the appearance of an industrial building, and may have functioned as a mill in the past, with the attached house perhaps serving as the miller's house. Regardless of former function, the survival of historic features such as timber sliding sash windows, carved timber bargeboards, slate roofs and ridge crestings adds much to the pair's character and charm.
