Appraisal
A pleasant middle-size house of modest architectural design aspirations incorporating pleasing proportions together with pretty details including the bipartite configuration to one opening enhancing the design aesthetic of the composition. Having been carefully maintained the house presents an early aspect with most of the essential attributes surviving in place, thereby making a positive impression on the visual appeal of the streetscape. The survival of a range of attendant outbuildings enhances the group and setting values of the site in the townscape.
