Appraisal
Though altered over the passing of time, this well proportioned house retains its original symmetry. The fine stone door surround and the integral carriage arch enliven the plain façade. The well worn steps leading to the entrance, with its timber panelled door and elegant door furniture, attest to the history and character of this structure.
