Appraisal
The house was originally owned by the Edgeworth family and later became the village's parochial house. This building is an unusual feature in the streetscape due to the gabled full-height porch. The traditional form of the main house is altered by this addition. The oval windows are an interesting feature of the breakfront, while the render detailing articulates the form. The related outbuildings to the site, and the cast-iron railings enhance the setting of the house and are clearly the well-executed work of skilled craftsmen.
