Appraisal
This handsome house is typical of larger nineteenth-century farmhouses, displaying characteristic features such as the central chimneystacks and symmetrical, classically proportioned façade. The house retains many original features in particular the varied window types, which further enliven the façade. The limestone sills and cast-iron eaves brackets are other notable features.
