Appraisal
Symmetrical chimneystacks, elegant proportions with tall ground floor windows, and centralised arched doorcase mark this building out as a small country house rather than a large farmhouse. It retains most of its original fabric and features. Its form is enlivened by the addition of the bay window. It is set in a mature landscape and is complemented by mature parkland and planting.
