Appraisal
Facing the village green, this structure commands a central position in Killeigh village. Although simple in appearance, its doorway is an interesting feature. Set within a flat-roofed porch, the front door opens directly onto the pavement whereas its neighbouring houses are set back behind decorative cast-iron railings. The cross above the door is also a noteworthy feature and reflects a religious association with the house.
