Appraisal
Originally thatched, this attractive vernacular house has retained has retained its sash windows at the front elevation. The stone bench under one of the windows to the front is another appealing feature typical of vernacular architecture. Therefore, this house is a reminder of the vernacular heritage which is slowly disappearing from this rural area.
