Appraisal
This outbuilding, which has been relatively well maintained to retain an early aspect, is an attractive feature on the streetscape of Doctor’s Lane. The rubble stone construction is of interest, representing the traditional method of building in the early nineteenth century, and the crude appearance of the materials attests to its use as an ancillary structure. The outbuilding retains many important early or original features and materials, including timber fittings to the openings and a slate roof.
