Appraisal
A picturesque small-scale house possibly originally serving as the rectory, school or sexton's house associated with the adjacent Saint Mary's Church (12314059/KK-26-14-59). Gothic-style elements, particularly the profile of the door openings, identify the architectural design importance of the composition while the decorative detailing to one fittings further enlivens the external appearance of the house.
