Appraisal
Despite the loss of some of its original elements, this farm house has retained its essential architectural form and its original fenestration. The paired windows with the central colonnette are an unusual feature. The property is enhanced by its range of outbuildings (see 40903823) partly organised around a yard, with the well-crafted gateway adding to its quality.
