Appraisal
A simple house with an asymmetrical elevation, distinguished by its timber sliding sash windows with margin panes and an unusual double-leaf door. Though some historic materials has been replaced, its historic character and charm remain, while the related outbuildings add to its setting and context. Set overlooking the road, it makes an eyecatching addition to the surrounding rural area.
