Appraisal
A handsome, modest house of simple and balanced proportions, is distinguished by the ornate render to the entrance and limestone walls with brick dressings. The house forms part of a group of contemporary structures in Knocklong, which contribute significantly to the character of the locality and may have been built in association with the nearby former Maypole Creamery and Knocklong Condensed Milk Factory.
