Appraisal

One of a pair of former estate worker's houses, this house makes an excellent addition to the surrounding area. Fine craftsmanship as can be seen throughout. Large chimneystacks, label mouldings and ornate timber bargeboards add to its appeal. Formerly associated with Castlefreke, this pair is a reminder of the provisions which were made for estate workers in the nineteenth century.
