Appraisal
A well-proportioned, middle-size house that is distinguished by fine render detailing, including a particularly important pubfront of artistic design distinction, which remains unaltered. Reasonably well maintained, the house retains its original form and most of its original fabric, although the recent (2003) replacement of the original fittings with inappropriate modern articles has not enhanced the visual appeal of the site. The retention of original joinery and plasterwork to the interior enhances the importance of the site. The survival of the original outbuilding also serves to emphasise the historic character of the building.
