Appraisal
A glebe house is shown on this site on the Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map of c. 1837 but this house is later, probably late nineteenth century in date. Despite the loss of some of its original fenestration it has retained its architectural integrity and its attractive and striking render detail to the front elevation.
