Appraisal
An elegantly-composed Regency villa-style house that has been well maintained to present an early aspect with important salient features and materials intact, both to the exterior and to the interior. The house is distinguished by a fine bowed portico, which enhances the architectural quality of the composition. Set in landscaped grounds, the house forms an appealing feature in the landscape, and contributes to the historic character of the locality.
